The urge of Diomedes is so great that killed many Trojans and even injured two gods, that were taking part in the battle, Aphrodite and Ares. In the coming conflicts, however, the Trojans managed to repel the Achaeans and reach their camp, near the wooden wall was that was built with the help of Poseidon, on the coast of Troy.

The next day, Zeus, who in the meantime had gone to Mount Ida, cast a lightning in front of the Achaeans, terrorizing them.
