Hmmm. Achilles, Hector, ?, Troy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles: Achilles chased Hector around the wall of Troy three times before Athena, in the form of Hector's favorite and dearest brother, Deiphobus, persuaded Hector to stop running and fight Achilles face to face. After Hector realized the trick, he knew his death was inevitable and accepted his fate. Hector, wanting to go down fighting, charged at Achilles with his only weapon, his sword. Achilles got his vengeance, killing Hector with a single blow to the neck. He then tied Hector's body to his chariot and dragged it around the battlefield for nine days. -- Ben Bolker Associate professor, Biology Dep't, Univ. of Florida bol...@ufl.edu / www.zoology.ufl.edu/bolker GPG key: www.zoology.ufl.edu/bolker/benbolker-publickey.asc ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
