The Iliad Book 5

In which the valiant Diomed, inspired by Minerva’s fierce aid, wreaks havoc upon the Trojan ranks, striking both mortals and gods with relentless fury, while the gods themselves take sides, wounding one another amid the chaos of battle. The tide of war rises and falls as Mars is grievously hurt and carried from the field, and the mighty struggle between Trojans and Achaeans swells with divine wrath and mortal endeavour.
