Could you imagine being there, watching Hector run around Troy over and over with Achilles chasing him? Hector would keep looking behind him and screaming, while Achilles shouted threats. It sounds so hilarious.

>when paris shot diomedes and grazed his foot

Mighty Diomedes, unperturbed, replied: ‘Braggart, vainly boasting because you grazed my foot! Ah, pretty archer with curling hair and an eye for the girls. Face me man to man with real weapons and your bow and quiver will help you nothing. I no more note this scratch than if a woman, or a careless child had struck me. A weakling’s shaft, a nonentity’s proves blunt, while the spear from my hand, it if merely touches, bears witness to its sharpness, and floors its man. Then his wife’s cheeks are scarred by grief, and his children are fatherless, while he, staining the earth with blood, rots with vultures not pretty girls at his side.’

i found that part a bit off as well lol, more like hilarious rather than epic

>>8976068
It's really funny how, in the middle of the poem, Zeus spoils all the shit of whats gonna happen next and reveals the final. lol

It also talks about Homer's proficiency tho, that part shows that he was clearly telling a story that basically everybody knew by memory at the time, but it was just a matter of how good he tells it.

Ah, pretty archer with curling hair
Face me man to man
I no more note this scratch than if a woman struck me.
A weakling’s shaft
while the spear from my hand and floors its man.
Then his wife’s cheeks are scarred by grief, and his children are fatherless,
not pretty girls at his side.’

>implying this isnt gay
