It's Monday again and we're halfway through. I apolgize for any confusion about the schedule; I had a rough week last week filled with crises which while minor were of the time-consuming, PITA type.
But let me grate a little more goat cheese into my wine and see where we are. It's been a battle-heavy series of books, as fortune or the gods influence the ebb and flow, favoring Greeks or Trojans. Achilles is still sulking and has turned down Agamemnon's generous offer of reparation, but he's at least stirred to the point where he sends Patroclus as envoy to check on Machaon. Agamemnon has his aristeia and is wounded. As book twelve ends, the Achaeans are in trouble and Hector is in the ascendant, but is he getting reckless? Perhaps he should listen to Polydamas?
