The Iliad, Book 13

The presence of the sea god put new vigor into the limbs and weaponry of the flagging Greeks. Poseidon aided the Greek fighters but kept a low profile in case Zeus happened to return. A small encyclopedia of fighters perished in diverse gory ways, their victors standing over them and stripping their bronze armor and helmets as prizes. Menelaus cursed Zeus for favoring the Trojans when all this time it was he, Menelaus who had been slighted and deserved justice. The war cries of each army rose to the highest clouds. Ajax told Hector his days were numbered.
