The wall built by the Greeks threatens to collapse. Angry about not being able to intervene, Hera concocts a plan and seduces her husband Zeus using Aphrodite's magic girdle. While he is sleeping, she rushes to warn Poseidon, who is also riled by having to obey orders from the god of Olympus. He rallies the Greek troops who retake the upper hand. Ajax takes on Hector, the eldest son of the king of Troy, and injures him. When Zeus wakes up, he is horrified to discover that Hector is dying.
