The Iliad The chieftains of the horse-taming Trojans and mail-clad Achaians call on thee to go down into the plain, that ye may pledge a trusty oath. The Iliad Thus toiled the flowing-haired Achaians: and the gods sate by Zeus, the lord of lightning, and marvelled at the great work of the mail-clad Achaians. The Iliad And the god thundered aloud from Ida, and sent his blazing flash amid the host of the Achaians; and they saw and were astonished, and pale fear gat hold upon all.

The Iliad But the Achaians with terrible cries were fleeing before man-slaying Hector till they came to the ships and to the Hellespont.

The Iliad Then Odysseus, having weighed ten talents of gold in all, led the way, and with him young men of the Achaians bare the gifts. The Iliad Of the single combat between Aias and Hector, and of the burying of the dead, and the building of a wall about the Achaian ships. The Iliad So bewailed they Hector, while yet he lived, within his house: for they deemed that he would no more come back to them from battle, nor escape the fury of the hands of the Achaians. The Iliad Against the Trojans' will daylight departed, but welcome, thrice prayed for, to the Achaians came down the murky night. The Iliad Alkimedon, what other Achaian hath like skill to guide the spirit of immortal steeds, save only Patroklos, peer of gods in counsel, while he yet lived? but now have death and fate overtaken him. The Iliad So when these were departed and were come on their way, and had attained to Asopos deep in rushes, that maketh his bed in grass, there did the Achaians appoint Tydeus to be their ambassador. The Iliad O ye sons of Priam, the heaven-nurtured king, how long will ye yet suffer your host to be slain of the Achaians? The Iliad So they were rallied and stood to face the Achaians: and the Argives withstood them in close array and fled not.

The Iliad So on both sides they strengthened the companies, Trojans and Lykians, Myrmidons and Achaians, and they joined battle to fight around the dead man fallen; terribly they shouted, and loud rang the harness of men. The Iliad So be it, Far-darter; in this mind I likewise came from Olympus to the midst of Trojans and Achaians. The Iliad Even as there spreadeth across the main the ripple of the west wind newly risen, and the sea grows black beneath it, so sate the ranks of Achaians and Trojans upon the plain. The Iliad And now had he burned the trim ships with blazing fire, but that queen Hera put it in Agamemnon's heart himself to bestir him and swiftly arouse the Achaians.

The Iliad And they shook to earth the dust from their manes, and lightly bare the swift car amid Trojans and Achaians. The Iliad Thy huts are full of wine that the ships of the Achaians bring thee by day from Thrace across the wide sea; all entertainment is for thee, being king over many. The Iliad Go therefore now and sit amid the company of thy fellows; against him shall the Achaians put forth another champion. The Iliad And in like manner on their side the well-greaved Achaians heaped the corpses on the pyre, stricken at heart, and when they had burned them with fire departed to the hollow ships. The Iliad Seest thou not how the flowing-haired Achaians have now again built them a wall before their ships, and drawn a foss around it, but gave not excellent hecatombs to the gods? The Iliad O father Zeus, deliver thou the sons of the Achaians from the darkness, and make clear sky and vouchsafe sight unto our eyes. The Iliad Thus kept the Trojans watch; but the Achaians were holden of heaven-sent panic, handmaid of palsying fear, and all their best were stricken to the heart with grief intolerable.

The Iliad So the Sun set, and the noble Achaians made pause from the stress of battle and the hazardous war. The Iliad Now some he gave to be meeds of honour to the princes and the kings, and theirs are left untouched; only from me of all the Achaians took he my darling lady and keepeth her. The Iliad He hath done deeds that methinks will be a sorrow to the Argives, lasting and long, such evils hath he devised against the Achaians. The Iliad Now the flowing-haired Achaians took meat hastily among the huts and thereafter arrayed themselves. The Iliad But all the other flowing-haired Achaians will tarry here until we lay waste Troy. The Iliad Wherefore is Achilles thus sorry for the sons of the Achaians, for as many as are wounded with darts? The Iliad Nay, come for the gifts; the Achaians shall honour thee even as a god. The Iliad Thereof take thou and give unto him afterward even a richer prize, or even now at once, that the Achaians may applaud thee. The Iliad Hold, friends, and though you love me leave me to get me forth of the city alone and go unto the ships of the Achaians.

The Iliad And now am I come from the ships to the plain, for at day-break the glancing-eyed Achaians will set the battle in array around the town. The Iliad Lie thou without, dear sire, lest there come hither one of the counsellors of the Achaians, such as ever take counsel with me by my side, as custom is. The Iliad Lady, from Zeus hath an Olympian messenger come to me, that I go to the ships of the Achaians and ransom my dear son, and carry gifts to Achilles that may gladden his heart. The Iliad How art thou fain to go alone to the ships of the Achaians, to meet the eyes of the man who hath slain full many of thy brave sons? of iron verily is thy heart. The Iliad Ye Aiantes twain, ye shall save the people of the Achaians, if ye are mindful of your might, and reckless of chill fear. The Iliad Son of Atreus and ye other well-greaved Achaians, for these rewards we summon two men of the best to lift up their hands to box amain.

The Iliad How durst thou come alone to the ships of the Achaians and to meet the eyes of the man who hath slain full many of the brave sons? of iron verily is thy heart. The Iliad But he could not confound the heart within the breast of the Achaians. The Iliad Nay, but ye too shall feel it, for easier far shall ye be to the Achaians to slay now he is dead. The Iliad Now verily, glorious Achilles dear to Zeus, I have hope that we twain shall carry off great glory to the ships for the Achaians, having slain Hector, for all his thirst for fight. The Iliad For even if he escape the Achaians' woful war, yet shall labour and sorrow cleave unto him hereafter, for other men shall seize his lands. The Iliad Let one come nigh to bear off the two-handled cup; the mule I say none other of the Achaians shall take for victory with his fists, for I claim to be the best man here.
