The Iliad Book 3

In which the noble hosts of Trojans and Achaeans prepare for single combat between Paris and Menelaus to settle their discord, and the hearts of all are drawn to witness the solemn oath and the valiant clash beneath the watchful gaze of gods and men. Yet fate and divine intervention mingle with mortal striving, scattering hopes as Helen weeps and mighty warriors stand arrayed amidst the somber ceasefire.
