Apollo 2: Electric Boogaloo (Book 20)
Finally Achilles has got up and decided to do something, and that's just an understatement. The slaughter of his enemies is putting to shame every gorey bloody battle that has taken place so far, so much so that Apollo feels the need to do what he did with diomedes and slap achilles down a bit. At least this time he isn't literally wrestling with the man, just stealing his kill of Hector. As disappointing as it is not to see Achilles bring the war to a close with a satisfying decapitation or something equally humiliating, there is yet more to see, and a famous giant wooden horse to consider the stupidity of. One really would hope that Zeus, despite his insistence on passive attitudes to the war, would be aggressive to the rebellious lower gods. The undermine of his rule is disappointing and actively making this 9 year war continue artificially. Apollo acts like his favorite batter swung out at a game and not like a man just lost in combat and is deserving of a swift end, which is unsurprising for the Gods but still all the same amount of insulting.
