Book XII

Achilles and Cycnus- For the second time we see a mortal man whose courage is unchecked by the power of the gods.Caenis/Caenus- After defilement by the great god of the sea, she wanted this to never happen again; as a man she/he would never endure it again.Lapiths and Centaurs- If anything can be learned from this gruesome battle it is to watch how much wine you drink, especially at a wedding.Caenus- Although he could not be killed by sword, the centaurs still found a way to kill the mighty Caenus.The death of Achilles- The gods had it out for Achilles and yet in his death, men honored him.
