Chapter 12 - The Achaean fortifications hold (for now). Hector orders his men to leave their chariots and storm the ramparts. An eagle drops a snake and this is a bad omen, but Hector is undeterred. The line is breached, Hector shatters a gate with a boulder, and the Trojans break through. Achilles continues to chill out and continue literature's longest and most petulant sulk.
