| Seeing many Greek soldiers die,
Hera returned to Olympus with an appeal
to gray eyed Athena. Both
goddesses agreed to join the battle. Athena dropped her robe and
dressed herself in the armor of Zeus while Hera prepared a chariot.
As they rumbled
from Olympus Hera reined up the team and addressed Zeus denouncing
Ares, Kypris, and Apollo for killing Greeks. Zeus agreed with
the goddesses and
gave Athena leave to do Ares grief.
Hera appearing
before the Greeks as Stentor, shouting loudly as fifty soldiers, gave
the warriors courage and anger.
