THE RAGE OF ACHILLES

Achilles continues his killing spree, massacring Trojans in the river Xanthus.
Even through the river asks him to stop, Achilles is too blinded by anger to
know what to do. When Xanthus talks to Apollo, criticizing him for not saving
more Trojan lives, Achilles rage is born anew as he challenges a GOD.
Achilles rage is strong enough to allow him to challenge a divinity..........

Hectors rage, coupled with his pride compels him to fight a battle he knows he
will lose. Even though he knows Achilles is momentarily invincible his anger
allows him to believe that it is possible to strike down the warrior with a spear.


The rage allows him to be deceived by Athena who takes the form of Deiphobus
Hector dies at the hands of a jubilant Achilles-whose own rage makes him refuse
a pledge for the safety of Hectors corpse........

for nine days Achilles drags the body of Hector around- pissing off the Gods

too bad the wise Centaur Chiron couldn't teach Achilles to throttle back his blood lust rage,
a tool of the gods he became.......perhaps
