   Summary

   If the others had managed to worm their way into Diomedes' heart, Odysseus was the one that wrapped himself around it, and suffocated him like a snake would its prey.

   Or: Diomedes is a fighter, and Odysseus is a lover. A boar and a snake. Two men; intertwined together. They know it wont last forever.
