You are HECTOR. You decide to attack on foot all along the line of the Greek wall. Your Trojans and allies are drawn up abreast in five companies:- Hector >>>>> Paris >>>>> Helenus & Deiphobus >>>>> Aeneas >>>>> Sarpedon & Glaucus Just before the assault, an eagle flies over and drops a red snake into the Trojan army. You dismiss the portent, because you believe Zeus has already promised victory.
