To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nltation; he sets watches and lights fires in the Trojan plain lest the Greeks escape; he takes precaution against their stealing into the un- guarded city, while the defenders are absent. Diomed in particular, he will meet on the morrow and settle the question of superiority forever. The speech of Hector has an Olympian tone ; he BOOK EIGHTH. B27 seems to feel the same triumph below that Zeus feels above; he commands his people with the same lordly authority, the terrestrial and the celestial ...voices are indeed counterparts. With this unison of Earth and Olympus the Book closes, calling up an image which joins the lights in heaven — the moon and stars — with the fires on the Trojan plain. Possibly, too, we may just here feel that touch of fatality which lies deep in the character of Hector with all his nobleness, and which will ap- pear in a startling manner just before his death. He has forgotten his prophecy of the fall of Troy in the Sixth Book, forgotten apparently her wrong, or thinks that the Gods have forgotten it.
