Aeneas is saved from imminent death at the hands of Achilles by Poseidon - because he has to go on to lead the Trojans and found a new kingdom, elsewhere.
Aeneas is saved from imminent death at the hands of Achilles by Poseidon - because he has to go on to lead the Trojans and found a new kingdom, elsewhere.
Aeneas faces off against Achilles, but he can't just get on with it - he's got to spout off about his ancestry first...
At Zeus's order, Athena gives Achilles the food of the gods - by putting straight in his chest without him noticing. Then he dons the armour Hephaestus made for him, takes up the spear his father gave him and heads out to confront the Trojans, feud with Agamemnon settled. Hera prophesies his violent death but Achilles is not deterred; he's heard it before and knows he's not coming back from Troy alive.
Hephaestus forges for Achilles probably the fanciest shield ever made - and the rest of a set of armour. Thetis takes it to her son.
Hera and Athena defy Zeus once more and help Achilles to intimidate the Trojans sufficiently that the Argives are - at last! - able to get Patroclus' body back to camp. Night falls and battle ends - but will Achilles enter the fray in the morning? Hector is defiant in the face of that prospect but the others aren't so confident...
