Автор описывает горы трупов на Троянской равнине:
(I)t would have been a matter only of minutes after death before insects attacked the corpses, and birds and dogs would have followed shortly thereafter. The Trojan Plain would have been thick with vultures and crows (...) Dogs would have grown fat on the abundance of fresh human meat. Swarms of flies would have accompanied the armies on their march. Butterflies and eagles would have fed on the carrion as well.
Butterflies? Butterflies?! Это что, бабочки, выходит, тоже питаются падалью?
