Theomachy
Theomachy is a reference to battles fought between
Greek Olympians themselves. In
the Iliad, two theomachies occur. One is fought between
Diomedes with the direct aid of
Athena against
Ares. Ares is wounded by the spear guided by Athena, this is the first theomachy to occur chronologically in the
Iliad. The second occurs between Hera and Artemis. This battle is shown by
Homer to be almost playful as Hera is smiling while she boxed Artemis' ears, which causes Artemis to fly away in tears.
