Tide Turning?



These have been some rough times. The Greeks and the Trojans have been fighting a war for years and everything seems to be falling into place after a back and forth, stalemate of a war to this point. Achilles prays for Patroklos and his ship return unharmed but I only have granted one of them. This will bring Achilles to a vengeance fighting for Patroklos ultimate death. But he will not die until after some victorious results for the Greeks. Despite the numbers heavily outweighing the Trojans, they have shown great heart battling a powerful enemy. It had made supporting one side over the other a tedious job. I have to admit though that I'm leaning towards the Greeks now after switching earlier in the war. 
On a side note of my allegiances, my son Sarpedon, a great Trojan fighter, has increased the hardship of supporting the Greeks. In fact I almost found myself in an unenviable situation amongst the other gods over my son. During his fight with Patroklos I was very tempted to save Sarpedon's life. Call it a fatehrly instinct. But thanks to Hera, my full sister and wife, she made me realize it would do more harm to save a mortal offspring, so i decided against it ultimately.
