Main description: Im Zentrum des Kommentars zum 6. Ilias-Gesang steht die Interpretation zweier in der Forschung vielbeachteter Episoden: der Begegnung zwischen Diomedes und Glaukos, die überraschend mit einem Waffen-Tausch statt mit einem Zweikampf endet, und der Szenenfolge ’Hektor in Troia‘, die den Helden im Spannungsfeld zwischen seinen Rollen als Stadtverteidiger und Familienvater zeigt.
