Iliad excerpt portrays Machaon wounded and Hector leading Trojan assault
In this scene from a young reader edition of the Iliad, Machaon is wounded and carried to the ships while Patroclus seeks Achilles. An omen-like eagle drops a snake amid the armies as Zeus breathes wind, Hector then orders a renewed assault and tears open the gates with a thrown stone.
