The start of the tidal waves of ruin tumbling down on Troy's and Achilles' forces, both at once, thanks to the will of Zeus, who rules the world. That was the song the famous harper sang but Odysseus, clutching his flaring sea -blue cape in both powerful hands, drew it over his head and buried his handsome face. Ashamed, his host might see him shedding tears. Whenever the rapt bard would pause in the song, he'd lift the cape from his head, wipe off his tears, and hoisting his double -handed cup, pour it out to the gods.
