Book 11: The wounding of the chiefs

Agamemnon fights brilliantly until he is wounded, and then Diomedes and Odysseus are also hurt. The healer Machaon is wounded as well, and Achilles sends his friend Patroclus to find out who he is. Old Nestor takes the chance to urge Patroclus to persuade Achilles to help, or at least to lend his armour.
