The Breach of Oaths
"The Trojans have trampled on their oaths and have wounded you; nevertheless the oath... shall not be vain."
Book IV marks the end of diplomacy. Prompted by the gods, a single arrow shatters the truce between the Achaeans and Trojans. Agamemnon reviews his troops, and for the first time in the poem, the two massive armies collide in a general, bloody engagement.
