"Here they come." Soldiers were lining up in front of the tribe, gathered to fight. Methodical, rigid, they moved as one. Light glinted off the metal of their armour, like an ocean's ripples under the sun.

Rachel Reviews: Ransom by David Malouf
My familiarity with Homer's The Iliad is limited. I have an idea of some of the characters discussed and the traits but I cannot profess to have much detailed knowledge. I have it on my bookshelf but I have never read it.

Serene Sunset
Trees zip past and we roll over the hills; High hedgerows are clustered and laced with cow parsley, Disappearing into clumps as the dusk rises to claim them.
