"Iliad XII"
 

XII

book twelve

And  angry Hector in an attempt

to push the Greek soldiers

back into the sea,

attacks the Argonauts fortification:

He urges his men to breach the Achaean rampart

and to set fire to all wooden structures

starting with the aged dry wooden fences

hoping such blazing inferno

will follow the winds

racing to the unfriendly visitor's ships!

And Hector and his men,

led by the gods turn up the heat.

These Trojans surely put the pressure onto the Greeks.  

And just like Union members,
the Argonauts stand their ground, refusing to
be pushed further back in pay and living standards.
