11 entries — Shorts and the long novel alike.
Pauldysseus — Iliad II
False dream, stampede, rally, Thersites. First-person dry narration while Pauldysseus moves agilely through the Achaean camp.
Pauldysseus — Iliad III
The vote not yet counted. Paris and Menelaus, the duel that should end the war, and the god who will not let it.
Pauldysseus — Iliad IV
The truce breaks. An arrow, a wound, and the war that resumes because a goddess wanted it so.
Pauldysseus — Iliad V
Diomedes aristeia. Mortals wound gods; the kuro shiba watches the temperature of the field.
Pauldysseus — Iliad VI
Hector and Andromache at the Scaean Gate. The helmet that frightens the child. The goodbye that is also a program.
Pauldysseus — Iliad VII
Single combat, a night of burial, and the wall the Achaeans should not have built.
Pauldysseus — Iliad VIII
Zeus holds the scales. The Achaeans are driven back; the night fires bloom on the plain.
Pauldysseus — Iliad IX
The embassy to Achilles. Gifts that cannot buy a name already spent.
Pauldysseus — Iliad X
Doloneia: night raid with Diomedes. Catch Dolon, hit Rhesus, steal the white horses.
Pauldysseus — Iliad XI · Part A
Agamemnon's aristeia until the wound. The king of the host burns the morning; then he leaves the field.
Pauldysseus — Iliad XI · Part B
Diomedes and Pauldysseus hold; Ajax rescues; Patroclus hears Nestor. The seed of the next death.
