The idea
A question about the metre of that passage is a question about Pope. A question about the anger of Achilles is a question about Homer. Separating what the translator supplied from what the original carries is the skill this band exists to build.
In practice
Metre is Pope's; wrath is Homer's.
Where people slip
Separate the two before answering.
