quote: ''
summary: Book XV opens with Jupiter awaking on Ida, seeing the Trojans driven back,
Hector near death, and Neptune aiding the Greeks. Jupiter angrily accuses Juno
of deceit and recalls earlier punishment. Juno swears by cosmic powers and the
Styx that Neptune acted without her command. Jupiter orders her to summon Iris
and Apollo, announces that Neptune must leave the battle, that Apollo will revive
Hector, and foretells a sequence of deaths and reversals leading to Hector's death
and Troy's burning. Juno flies to Olympus, where the gods greet her, and she warns
Themis that Jupiter's decrees will trouble both mortals and gods.

Juno's arts, wiles, blandishments, and soft deceits.

accusation and aftermath rather than the full trickster action.

call his senses back from death's verge.

pattern rather than full death and rebirth.

cautions: The relationship is mentioned within prophecy rather than dramatized in
the present action.

motif family, because a deity's deceptive arts disrupt the intended order of battle.
