In this article, I explore the figure of the mortal theomachos in archaic Greek hexameter poetry. In particular, I examine how the Iliad and the Hesiodic Aspis construct Diomedes and Heracles respectively in their capacity to fight and wound divine opponents. Through a careful study of these two figures, I argue that they are emblematic of the heroic generations they belong to
