The Favor of Zeus



Greek Warriors fight and Dying
http://www.igreekmythology.com/trojan-war.html

Another day of warfare outside the walls of Ilium. Today it seems we fight without the intervention of the gods on behalf of the Achaeans. Only the wisest can guess what strife has taken the Gods from the battlefield and stayed their warcraft. At first it seemed as though the Achaeans were going to push and take Troy itself, but then Zeus saw fit to bless us with his bolts. With the momentum moving in our favor brave Hector gained ground even further. Once again I can appreciate the soldier that he is. Each time the tide of battle seemed to waver Hector charged ahead to retake the line and advance it for our cause. Once we had made it to the fortifications of the Achaeans we made camp after a fewer small skirmishes. The act itself appears bolder than I would like. But if the gods truly have forsaken the Achaeans we have nothing to fear, for Hector clearly has some god or gods favor. However, we still have yet to see Achilleus again. With dissension among the Achaeans I wonder if pushing them closer will not lead to a reunification of their forces...only time will tell....
