Book V questions (http://www.temple.edu/classics/iliadho.html#5):
1. Diomed has his aristeia, under the protection of Minerva. Does her help detract from his glory or magnify it?
2. Why can Diomed now recognize other gods on the battlefield?
3. Why does Minerva want Venus injured? (And how can a god be injured, anyway?)
4. Hector intervenes. Given that Hector is the most important Trojan fighter, why does Homer keep him in the background for so long?
5. List some of Hector's epithets.
6. Diomed wounds Mars. Compare the reaction of humans and gods when they are injured.
