    VIEWS OF HOMERIC GODS AND RELIGION B. C. DIETRICH In Book 12 of the Iliad the Trojans with Zeus' support penetrated the camp of the Greeks. Despite the temporary delay in the crisis when Poseidon rallied the Achaeans, their situation was pretty desperate and Agamemnon, never filled with confidence, was once more ready to throw in the towel. There was only one hope for the Greeks: if Zeus' attention could be diverted from the battle, then Poseidon…

  • The Spinning of Fate in Homer

    B C Dietrich, Bernard DietrichARTICLEPhoenix1962
