Book 13
“As they saw then come closer, tears welled up in their eyes;
they did not think they would ever escape destruction.”
(13.86-87)
The Ilaid depicts war as I imagine it actually is. Besides the never-ending gory slaughter, there are the human emotions, which are never glossed over.

Up to Book 13! Yes, the gore is right out there. Nothing is glossed over.
