Homer, Chapter 7: riassunto
Chapter 7 di 26 · 10 min per leggere: chapter
In Chapter 7, wounded Greek leaders give way before Hector, whose troops break through the defenses and threaten the ships, while divine intervention repeatedly reverses the fighting. Juno briefly secures an advantage for the Greeks by distracting Jupiter, but he restores Trojan strength through Apollo, leaving Ajax desperately defending the fleet against fire.
Cosa succede
- Agamemnon, Diomed, and Ulysses suffer wounds, while Achilles sends Patroclus to learn about the fighting and Nestor urges him to seek help.
- Hector dismisses Polydamas’s warning about an omen, smashes the gates with a rock, and drives the Greeks toward their ships.
- Neptune strengthens the Greek resistance, and Ulysses and Diomed reject Agamemnon’s proposal to escape by sea.
- Juno charms Jupiter into sleep, allowing Neptune to lead the Greeks; Ajax strikes Hector down with a stone.
- Jupiter wakes, orders Neptune away, and sends Apollo to restore Hector and support the Trojan attack.
- Apollo breaks the defenses, Jupiter disables Teucer’s bow, and Ajax kills twelve attackers attempting to burn the ships.

Cosa notare
Hector dismisses Polydamas’s interpretation of the eagle and serpent. His response makes loyalty to his country the basis for action rather than signs of danger.
