(CH. 2 The Iliad) Book 7: Ajax and Hector Duel

Athena and Apollo strike a pact to halt the carnage with a duel, and Hector strides out to challenge the Greeks’ bravest man. The lot falls to Ajax, who fights Hector to a standstill, and, sealing a temporary truce, the two exchange gifts, Hector’s silver-studded sword for Ajax’s purple war belt. As the Greeks raise ramparts around their ships, Zeus thunders all night, planning new disasters for the mortal warriors.
