Document Summary
Athena gives extra power and courage to diomedes. Diomedes throws his spear, however, he kills phegeus. He would kill idaios too, except that the god hephaistos swoops down from the sky and carries the trojan to safety. Hephaistos does this so the boys" father will not be completely heartbroken at losing two sons. Athena convinces ares to back off for a while and let the mortals duke it out. Athena comes to diomedes, tells him she has instilled his father"s strength in him. As an added bonus, she also takes away the mist from his eyes, so that he can tell who"s a mortal and who"s a god. She tells him that if any god challenges him, he should maintain eye contact and back away slowly. Diomedes that if he sees the goddess of love, he should go on the attack. Trojan warrior aeneas is looking for pandaros. Aineias suggest they team up in one chariot.
