1. Lines 546-550. And soon as the men had prayed and flung the barley, first they lifted back the heads of the victims, slit their throats, skinned them and carved away the meat from the thighbones and wrapped them in fat a double fold sliced clean and topped with strips of flesh.
2. #569. Homer describes dawn with rose-red fingers.
3. Zeus did nothing.
4. Because Zeus thinks that Thetis will drive him into a war with Hera.
5. He bowed his head. Lines 632-633.
6. Hera's son, Hephaestus, told her that Zeus was to powerful and he said that she needed to go back to him.
7. A Positive Note. Lines 732-735. And Olympian Zeus the lord of lightning went to his own bed where he had always lain when welcome sloop came on him. There he climbed and there he slept and by his side lay Hera the Queen, the goddess of the golden throne.
