He slaughtered men, wounded Mars, and even struck Venus herself. But glory does not protect a hero forever.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis pamphlet follows Diomedes after the Iliad: exiled, restless, and pursued across the sea by the implacable hatred of a goddess.
