[12] Up to this point the description of Achilles' grief would seem to refer to a particular night. The five iterative verbs in -“σκω” within six lines shew that it really belongs to a period of several days; and this agrees with the twelve days of 31, cf. 107. This is evidently awkward; it cannot however be remedied without great violence, and must be reckoned among the weaknesses of the whole opening passage.
