Gore, aplenty (and ever increasing):
Idomeneus skewered Erymas straight through the mouth, the merciless brazen spearpoint raking through, up under the brain to split his glistening skull — teeth shattered out, both eyes brimmed to the lids with a gush of blood and both nostrils spurting, mouth gaping, blowing convulsive sprays of blood and death's dark cloud closed down around his corpse.

Graphic Deaths, aplenty:
Down Alcathous crashed and the point stuck in his heart and the heart in its last throes jerked and shook the lance — the butt-end quivering into the air till suddenly rugged Ares snuffed its fury out, dead still.

Ah my friend, if you and I could escape this fray and live forever, never a trace of age, immortal, I would never fight on the front lines again or command you to the field where men win fame.

Gore, aplenty:
Down from the car he'd leapt, squaring off, charging in full fury, full face, straight into Agamemnon's spearhead ramming sharp — the rim of the bronze helmet could not hold it, clean through heavy metal and bone the point burst and the brains splattered all inside the casque.
