Hello again. I certainly hope that this has been a fun weekend for everyone. I definitely had fun with my family. I have some of the funnest (Is that even a word? Is it "most fun?") aunts ever. I am most certainly going to miss them. But onto the story.
You remember how all the Trojans escaped into the city when Apollo distracted Achilles? Well....it looks like Hektor didn't make it inside. Men's pride. I don't know. It's not looking up for him.
Achilles is heading straight for Hektor. But then Hektor takes off in a sprint. He is chased around the city three whole times and almost a fourth. There's an Olympic champion for you. Then basically, Athena tricks Hecktor into fighting Achilles. Lets's build up some tension here. Snap your fingers. And...........he's dead. Yeah! That quick.
Now there's a whole lot of mourning and weeping. And I mean a lot. It's understandable. Achilles actually ties Hektor to his chariot and drags his dead corpse (Is that redundant?) through the dirt around Troy. I think Achilles has some anger issues. He just can't let it go.
Right before Hektor died he begged Achilles to give his body to his family for burial. So far Achilles isn't really going for it. But there are two chapters left. Who knows what can happen. Not much. But maybe enough to end on a semi-positive note.
That's it for now. Two more chapters to go. This is so much fun. Bye
