XXI book twenty-one
Achilles godlike can easily take on Hector and all world knows that he will win. So, to make it more difficult the gods add water to the stream along which Achilles attacks. And the stream leaves his bed, washes away Achilles' campground and many of Achilles fighters too are carried out to sea into Poseidon's open arms who is passing such unfortunates on towards the whirlpools of Hades. Yet nothing stops the angry Achilles. Come rain or highwater, come hail and wind, not even the earth's quivering while Zeus is kicking it, can tame the wild man. Nothing stops the raging Achilles who is seeking revenge, seeking Hector's life.
