07 - How the Son of Schilles was brought to the War from the Isle of Scyros - The Fall of Troy · The Fall of Troy

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: When heaven hid his stars and torn awoke helt spraying splendor,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and night darkness fled. Then undismay'd, the Arga's warrior suns
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: march'd forth without the ships to meet in fight Eurypolus,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: save those that carried still to render to machayon midst
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the ship's death jews with Nerius. Nerius, who in grace
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and goodly head was like the deathless ones, yet was
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: not strong in bodily might. The gods grant not perfection
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in all things to men, But evil still is blended
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: with the good by some strange fate. To Nereus, winsome
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: grace was linked a weakling's prowers. Yet the Greeks slighted
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: him not, but gave him all death jews and mourn'd
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: above his grave with no less grief than for machaeon
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: whom they hon at a for his deep wisdom. As
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the immortal gods one mound they swiftly heaped above these twain.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Then in the plain once more did murderous warm madden.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: The multitude is clash and cry rose. As the shields
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: were shatter'd by you, stones were pierced with lances, so
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: they toiled in fight. But all this while they Polydorus,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: fasting in dust and groaning, leaving not his brother's tomb,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and oft his heart was moved with his own hands
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to slay himself. And now he clutched his sword, had
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: now amidst his herves, sought for a deadly drug. And
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: still his friends essayed to stay his hand and comfort
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: him with many pleadings. But he would not cease from breathing. Yea,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: his hands had spilt his life there on his brother's
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: new maid tomb. But Nestor heard thereof, and sorrowed sore
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in his affliction, and he came on him as now
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: he flung him on that woeful grave, and now was
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: casting dust upon his head, beating his breast, and on
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: his brother's name, crying, while thralls and comrades round their
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: lord groaned, and affliction held them one and all. Then
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: gently spake he to that stricken one, refrained from bitter
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: moan and deadly grief. My son, it is not a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: wise man's honor to well, as doth a woman o'er
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the fallen, Thou shalt not bring him up to light again,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: whose soul hath fleeted vanishing into air, whose body fire
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: hath rafvened up, whose bones Earth has received. His end
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: was worthy his life endure thy sore grief, even as
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I endured, who lost thee son slain by the hands
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of foes, a son not worse than thy machaeon good
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: with spears and battle good in counsel. None of all
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the youth soul loved his sire as he loved me.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: He died for me, yea died to save his father.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yet when he was slain, I did endure to taste
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: food and to see the light well, knowing that all
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: men must tread one path hades ward, and before all
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: lies one goal, death, mournful goal. A mortal man must
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: bear all joys, all griefs that God vouchsafest to send
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: made answer that heart stricken one, whilst still wet were
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: his cheeks with ever flowing tears. Father, mine heart is
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: bowed neath crushing grief for a brother passing wise, who
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: fostered me even as a son, when to the heavens
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: had passed our father. In his arms, he cradled me gladly.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: He taught me all his healing lore. We shared one table,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: in one bed, we lay we had all things in common,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: these and love. My grief cannot forget, nor I desire
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: now he is dead to see the light of life.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Then spake the old man to that stricken one, to
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: all men. Fate assigns one same sad lot bereavement. Earth
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: shall cover all alike, Albeit we tread not the same
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: path of life, and none the path he chooseth for
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: on high. Good things and bad lie on the knees
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: of God's unnumbered, indistinguishably blent, These no immortal seeth. They
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: are veiled in mystic cloudfolds. Only Fate puts forth her
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: hands thereto nor looks at what she takes, but cast
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: them from Olympus down to earth this way, and that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: they are wafted, as it were, by gust of wind.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: The good man oft is whelmed in suffering. Wealth undeserved
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: is heaped on the vile person. Blind is each man life.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Therefore he never walketh surely oft he stumbleth Ever devious
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: is his path, now sloping down to sorrow, mounting now
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to bliss. All happy is no living man from the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: beginning to the end. But still the good and evil clash.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Our life is short, beseems not then in grief, to live,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: hope on still, hope for better days, chain not to
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: woe thine heart. There is a saying among men that
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to the heavens unperishing mount the souls of good men,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and to never darkness sink the souls of the wicked,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: both to God and man dear was thy brother, good
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to brother men, and son of an immortal Sure am
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I that to the company of gods ye shall ascend
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: by intercession of Thy sire. Then raised he, that reluctant mourner,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: up with comfortable words, and from that dark grave drew
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: him backward, gazing off with groans, to the ships they came,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: where Greeks and trojan Men had bitter travail of rekindled war.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Jur ripple us. There, in pompous spirit, like the war God,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: with mad, raging spear and hands resistless, smote down host
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of foes. The earth was clogged with dead men slain
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: on either side. On he strode midst the corpses awelessly.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: He fought with blood bespattered hands and feet, never a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: moment from grim strife. He ceased Benellios from mighty heart.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: He came against him in the pitiless fray. He fell
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: before you ripples, spear kay, many more fell round him, ceased,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: not those destroying hands, but wrathful on the ugi. Still
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: he pressed hes when of old on Fellow's long raised
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: heights among the centaurs, terrible hercules rushed, storming in might,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and slew them, passing, swift and strong and battle cunning.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Though they were so rushed, he on and smote down
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the array, one after the other of Dannian's spears heaps
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: upon heaps here there in throngs they fell, strewn in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the dust, as when a river in flood comes thundering down.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Panks crumble on either side, to drifting sand. On seaward
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: rolls the surge, tossing wild crest, while cliffs on every
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: hand ring crashing echoes as their brows break down beneath long, leaping,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: roaring waterfalls and pikes are swept away. So fell in dust.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: The war famed our eyes. By you ripple the slain
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: such as he overtook in that red route, Sumfu escaped,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: whom strength of fleeing feet delivered get in that sore
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: strait they drew penonials from the shrieking tumult forth and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: pair to the ships, though with swift feet themselves were
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: fleeing from castly death and pitiless doom. Behind the ramp
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: out of the ships, they fled in huddled rout. They
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: had no heart to stand before Eurybulus, for Hercules to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: crown with bory. His stalwart sun filled them with panic.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: There behind the wall they cowered as goats to leeward
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: of a hill, shrieked before the wild, cold rushing of
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the wind that bringeth snow and heavy sleet and haft.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: No longing for the pasture, tenteth them over the brow
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to step and face the blast. But huddling, screamed by
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: rock wall and ravine, they abide the storm and crop
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the scanty grass under dim Copx's thronging till the gust
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of that ill wind shall lull. So by that towers
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: screened did the trembling Danians abide. Tell of his mighty sun,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: yea he had burnt the ships and all that host
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: that he destroyed, had not Athena at the last inspired
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the argive men with courage. Ceaselessly from the high rampart
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: hurled they at the foe with bitter biting darts, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: threw them fast, and all the walls were splashed with
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Greeking gore, and ah went up a moan or smitten men.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So forth they night long, day long. Forth they on
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: stay ends. Trojans battle biding, Greeks fought how before the ships,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and now again round the steep wall with fury unutterable.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Yet even so for two days did they cease from
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: murderous fight. For to Eurypulus came a Danian embassage, saying,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: from the war forbear we while we give unto the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: flames the battle slain. So hearkened he to them from ruinous,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: wreaking strife forbore the host, and so they're dead. They
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: buried who in dust had fallen. Chiefly the Achaeans mourned Penelios,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: or the mighty dead. They heaped a barrel broad and high,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a sign for men of days to be. But in
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a several place the multitude of heroes slain. They laid
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: horning with stricken hearts on one great pyre. They burnt
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: them all and buried in one grave. So likewise, far
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: from thence the sons of Troy buried their slain. Yet
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: murderous strife slept not, but vows the can yurriplelous dauntness
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: might to meet the foe. He turned not from the ships,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: but there abode and fan the fury of war. Meanwhile
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the black ships on to Scyrow's ran, and those twain
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: found before his palace gate Achilles, sun thou hurling dart,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and lance thou in his chariot, driving fleetfoot steeds. Glad
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: were they to behold in practicing the deeds of war,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Albeit his heart was sad for his slain sire, of
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: whom had tidings come ere this with reverent eyes of awe.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: They went to meet him, for that goodly form and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: face seemed even his Achilles unto them. But he or
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: ever they had spoken, cried all hell, ye strangers unto
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: this mine house, say whence ye are, and who and
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: what the need that hither brings you over? Baron sees
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: so spake ye, and Odysseus answered him, friends, are we
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of Achilles, lord of war, to whom of dear Dammia
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: thou wast born yea when we look on thee, we
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: seem to see that hero self, And like the immortal ones,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: was he of ithaca am I this man of Argos,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: nurse of horses. If perchance thou hast heard the name
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of Tideus, warrior's son, or of the wise Odysseus. Lo,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I stand before Thee, sent by voice of Prophecy, I
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: pray THEE pity us. Come thou to Troy and help
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: us only so unto the war and end shall be
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: gifts beyond words to thee. The Achaean king shall give YEA,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I myself will give to THEE thy godlike father's arms.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: And great shall be thy joy in bearing them, For
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: these be like no mortal's battle gear, but splendid as
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the very war God's arms. Over their marvelous blazonry, hath
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: gold been lavished Yea in heaven Hephessus self rejoiced in
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: fashioning that work divine. The wicks thine eyes shall marvel
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to behold, For earth and heaven and sea upon the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: shield are wrought, and in its wondrous compass are creatures
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that seem to live and move wonder even to the immortals.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Never hath man seen their like, nor any man hath worn,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: save Thy sire, only whom the Achaeans all honored, as
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Zeus himself. I chiefliest from mine heart loved him, and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: when he was slain to many a foe, I dealt
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a ruthless doom, and threw them all bear back to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the ships his course. Therefore his glorious arms did fetis
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: give to me these, though I prize them well. To THEE,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I will gladly give when thou comest to Troy. Yea.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Also when we are smitten Priam's towns, and to hell
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Us in our ship's return, shall Mana lay us give THEE,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: And thou wilt his princess child to wife for love
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: of THEE, and with his bright haired daughter, shall bestow
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: rich dower of gold and treasure, even all that meet
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: is to attend a wealthy king. So spake he, and replied,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Achilles son. If bidden of oracles, the Achaean men, summon
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: me let us with to morrow's dawn, fare forth upon
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the broad depths of the sea. If so to longing Danians,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I may prove a light of help. Now pass we
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: to my halls and to such guest fare as befits
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to set before the stranger for my marriage day. To
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: this the gods in time to come shall see to
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the forecourt when they came of that great mansion, found
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: they there. The Queen Diatamia, in her soul of sorrow,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: grief wasted as when snow from mountain sides before the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: sun in east wind away, so pined she for that
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: princely hero slain. Then came to her amidst her grief,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the kings and greeted her in courteous Wise. Her son
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: drew near and told their lineage and their names. But
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that for which they came he left untold until the morrow,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: lest unto her woe there should be added grief and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: floods of tears, and lest her prayers should hold him
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: from the path whereon his heart was set straight. Feasted
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: these and comforted their hearts with sleep, Even all which
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: dwelt in sea, ringed scyrows, night long lulled by long
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: low thunder of the girdling deep of waves, agean breaking
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: on her shores, but not on Theodamia fell the hands
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: of kindly sleep. She bore in mind the names of
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: crafty Odysseus and of Diomed the God, like how these
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: chwain had widowed her of battle fane Achilles, how their
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: words had won his aweless heart to fare with them
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to meet the war cry, where stern fate met him,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: shattered his hope of home return, and laid measureless grief
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: on Peleus and on her. Therefore an awful dread oppressed
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: her soul. Lest her son too to tumult of war,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: should speed and grief be added to her grief. Dawn
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: climbed the wide arched heaven straightway they rose from their beds.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Then Deadamia knew, and on her son's broad breast she
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: cast herself and bitterly welled, her crying frilled through the air,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: as when a cow loud lowing mid the hills, seeks
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: through the glens her calf, and all round echo long
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: ridges of mountain steep so on all sides. From dim
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: recesses rang the hall, And in her misery she cried, child,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: wherefore is thy soul on the wing to follow strangers
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: into ilium the felt of tears where perish many in fight?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Yea cunning men in war and battle grim and thou
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: art but a youth and hast not learned the ways
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: of war which save men in the day of peril.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Hearken thou to me abide here in thine home, lest
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: evil tidings come from Troy, unto my ears, that thou
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: in fight hast perished, for mine heart saith. Never thou
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: hitherween shalt from battle toil return, Not even thy sire,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: escape the doom of death. He mightier than thou, mightier
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: than all heroes on earth, yea, and a goddess son,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: but was in battle slain all through the wilds and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: crafty councils of these very men whom now to woeful
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: war be kindling thee. Therefore mine heart is full of
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: shuddering fear, lest son, My lot should be to live
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: bereaved of thee, and to endure dishonor and pain. For
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: never heavier blow on woman falls than when her lord
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: hath perished, and her sons die also, and her house
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: has left her desolate. Straightway, evil men remove her landmarks, yea,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and rob her of all, setting the right at naught.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: There is no lot more woeful and more helpless than
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: is hers, who has left a widow in a desolate home. Loud,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: wailling speake, she, but her son replied, be of good cheer,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: my mother put from thee evil foreboding. No man in
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: war is beyond his destiny slain. If my weird be
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: to die in my country's cause, then let me die
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: when I have done deeds worthy of my sire. Then
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: to his side old Macomedes came, and to his battle
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: eager grandsons speak, Oh, valiant hearted son, so like thy sire,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I know THEE strong and valorous. Yet Oh yet for
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: THEE I fear the bitter war. I fear the terrible
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: sea surge. Shipmen evermore hang on destruction's brink. Beware my child,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: perils of water when thou sellest back from Troy on
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: other shores, such as beset full oft times, the voyagers
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that ride the long sea ridges, when the sun hath
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: left the archer star and meets the misty goat, when
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the wild blasts drive on the lowering storm, or when
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Orion to the darkling west slopes into ocean's rivers, sinking low.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Beware the time of equal days and nights, when plasts
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: that all the sea's abysses rush, none knoweth whence, in
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: fury of battle clash. Beware the pleaeades setting when the
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: sea maddens beneath their power. Nor these alone, but other
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: stars terrors of hapless men, as o'er the wide sea gulf,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: they set a rise, then kiss tee him. Nor sought
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: to stay the feet of him who panted for the
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: clamor of war, who smiled for pleasure and for eagerness
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to haste to the ship. Yet were his hurrying feet
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: stayed by his mother's pleading and her tears still in
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: those halls awhile as some swift horses reined in by
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: his rider, When he strains into the racecourse, and he
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: neighs and chaps the curving bit, dashing his chest with foam,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and his eager feet for the course are still never
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: his restless hose are clattering eye. His mane is a
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: stormy cloud. He tosses high his head with snortings, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: his lord is glad. So reined his mother back, the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: glorious son of battle stay Achilles, So his feet were restless.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: So the mother's loving pride joyed in her son, despite
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: her heart sick pain. A thousand times he kissed her,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: then at last let her alone with her own grief
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and moan. There in her father's hauls as o'er her
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: nest they swallow in her anguish cries aloud for her
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: lost nestlings, which mid piteous shrieks A fearful serpent hath
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: devoured and wrung the mother's loving heart. And now above
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the empty cradle spreads her wings and now flies round
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: its porchway fashioned cunningly, lamenting piteously her little ones. So
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: for her child, the Adamia mourned. Now on her son's bed,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: she cast herself, crying aloud, against his doorpost. Now she
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: leaned and wept. Now laid she in her lap those
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: childhood toys yet treasured in her bower, wherein his babe
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: her joyed long years. Agone, she saw a dart there,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: left behind of him, and kissed it. Aar and awe
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: yea whatso else her weeping eyes beheld that was her son's.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Not heard he of her moans unutterable, but was afar
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: fast striding to the ship, he seemed, as his feet
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: swiftly bare him on like some all radiant star. And
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: at his side, with tidy as sun war wise, Odysseus
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: went and with them twenty gallant hearted men, who Diadamia
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: chose as trustiest of all her household, and unto her son,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: gave them for henchmen, swift to do his will and
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: these attended Achilles valiant son, as through the city to
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the ships. He sped on with glad laughter in their
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: midst he strode, and thetis and the nerriages joyed thereat.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Yea glad was even the raven head lord of all
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the sea, beholding that brave son of princely Achilles, marking
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: how he longed for battle. Beardless boy, albeit he was,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: his powers and his might were inward spurs to him.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: He hastened forth his fatherland, like to the war god.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: When to gory strife he speedeth, wroth with foes, when
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: maddeneth his heart and grim his frown is and his
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: eyes flashed leavin flame around him, and his face is
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: clothed with glory of beauty, tera blent as on he
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: rusheth quell the very gods. So seemed Achilles goodly son,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and prayers went up through all the city unto heaven
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: to bring their noble prince safe back from war, And
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: that gods hearkened to them high he towered about the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: stateliest men which follow him. So they came to the
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: heavy plunging sea, and found the rowers in the smooth
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: wrought ship, handling the tackle, fixing masts and cell straightway
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: they went aboard. The shipmen cast the hawsers loose, and
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: heave the anchor stones the strengthened stay of ships in
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: time of need. Then did the sea Queen's lord grant
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: voyage fair to these with gracious mind, for his heart
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: yearned o'er the Achaeans, by the trojan men and mighty
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: sould Urripulus hard bestead on either side of Nerptolemus set
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: those heroes, gladdening his soul with tales of his sire's
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: mighty deeds, of all he wrought in sea raids and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: in valiant telephus Land, and how he smote round Priamsburg
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the men of Troy for glory unto atreous suns. His
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: heart glowed, fail to grasp his heritage, his awe, his
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: father's honor, and renown. In her bower, sorrowing for her son,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the while the Adamia poured forth sighs and tears with
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: agony of soul. Her very heart melted in her as
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: over cold doth lead or wax had never did her
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: moaning cease as o'er the wide sea, her gaze followed
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: him high for her son. A mother fretteth still, though
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: it be to a feast he hath gone by a
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: friend bidden forth. But soon the sail of that good ship,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: far fleeting o'er the Blue, grew faint and fainter, melted
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: in sea haze. But still she sighed. Still day long
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: made her moan on ran the ship before a following wind,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: seeming to skim the myriad surging sea and crash the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: dark wave either side the prow swiftly across the abyss. Unplumed,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: she sped. Night's darkness fell about her, but the breeze held,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and the steersman's hand was sure for gulfs of brine.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: She flew till dawn. Divine rose up to climb the sky.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Then sighted they the peaks of Ida Chrysa, next, and
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Samynthius Fane, then the Scygian Strand, and then the tomb
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: of Aacus Son. Yet would Laertes seed, the man discreet
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: of soul not, pointed out to Neoptolemus, lest the tide
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: of grief too high should swell within his breast. They
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: passed Kolydna's isles, left Tennadose behind, and now was seen
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the fane of Ilias, where stands Protosilaus tomb beneath the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: shade of taucry elms. When soaring high above the plain,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: their topmost bowels discerned Troy straightway, whither all their highest
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: sprays nigh ilium. Now the ship, by wind and oar
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: was brought, they saw the long strand fringed with keil
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: of our gives, who endured sore travail of war. Even
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: then about the wall, the which themselves had reared to
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: screen the ships and men in stress of battle. Even
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: now Euripple his hands to earth, were like to dash
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: it and destroy. But the quick eyes of tidy as
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: strong son marked how rained the darts and stones along
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: that long wall. Forth of the ship he sprang had
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: shouted loud with all the strength of his undaunted breast. Friends,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: are the argive men is heaped this day saw travel.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Let us torn our flashing arms with speed, and to
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: young battle turmoil, haste, for now upon our towers. The
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: warrior sons of Troy press hard, nay, ourselves shall fall
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: before our due time, and shall lie in braves of Troyland,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: par from children and from wives. As one man down
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: from the ship they leapt for trembling, seized on off
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: with that grim sight on all save all this near Polemus,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: whose might was like his father's lust for war, oar
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: swept o'er him to Odysseus tent in haste, they sped
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: for closet lay to where the ship touched land. About
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: its walls there hung great store of change of armor
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: of wise Odysseus sum and rescued some from gallant comrades slain.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Then did the brave men put on goodly arms. But
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: they in whose breast faintlier beat their hearts, must down.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: The worser Odysseus stood a raid in those which came
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: with him from Ithaca to dire men. He gave fair
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: battle gear stripped in time passed from mighty Socus slain.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: But in his father's arms Achilles son clad him, and
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: lo he seemed achille self light on his limbs, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: lapping close they lay. So cutting was a festus workmanship,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: which for another had been a giant's arms. The massive
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: helmet cumbered not his brows, yea, the great pillion spear
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: shaft burdened not his hand, but lightly swunging up on high,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the heavy and paul lance thirsting still for blood of
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: many our guys which beheld him, then might none draw
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: nigh to him, how faint, so air, so fast were
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: they in a grim grapple lot with the wild war
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: that raged all down the wall. But as when shipmen
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: under a desolate isle mid the wide sea by stress
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: of weather bound chafe, while afar from men, the adverse
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: blasts prisoned them many a day, they paced the deck
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: with sinking hearts, while scantier gross their store of food,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: they weary till a fair wind sings, so joy the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Archaean host, which theretofore were heavy of heart. When Neopolamus
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: came joyed in the hope of breathing space from toil,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Then like the awe this lions flashed his eyes, which
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: mid the mountains leaps in furious mood, to meet the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: hunters that draw nigh his cave, thinking to steal his cubs.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: There left alone in the dark shadowed glen. But for
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the height the beast hath spied, and on the spoilers
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: leaps with grim jaws, terribly roaring. Even so that glorious
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: child of a Acus, all this sudden against the Trojan warriors,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: turned in wrath tiver his eagle swoop descended first, while
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Bloudust from the plane uproared the fight. Their weakest, he divined,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: must be the wall, the battlement lowest, since the surge
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: of foes break heaviest. There charged at his side, the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: rest breathing the battle spirit. There they found Uripulus, mighty
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: of heart, and all his men, scaling a tower, exultant
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: in hope of tearing down the walls, of slaughtering the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: arguis in one holocaust. No mind, the gods had to
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: accomplish their desire. But now Odysseus, Thiomid, the strong Leontias
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: and Neptolemus, as a god in strength and beauty, held
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: their javelins down and thrust them from the wall as
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: dogs and shepherds. By shouting at hard fighting, drive away
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: strong lions from his steading, rushing forth from all sides,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and the brutes, with glaring eyes, paced to and fro
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: with savage lust for blood of calves and kind. Their
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: jaws are slavering. Yet must thereon must give back from
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the hounds and fearless onset of the shepherd folk. So
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: from these new defenders shrank the foe a little, as
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: far as one may hurl a stone exceeding great. For
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: still euriplus suffered them not to flee far from the ships,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: but cheered them on to bide the brunt till the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: ship be won, and all the argives slain. For Zeus,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: with measureless might, thrilled all his frame. Then seized a
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: rugged stone and huge, and leaped and hurled it full
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: against the hydeilt wall. It crashed, terribly, boomed, and ramparts
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: steep to its foundations. Terror dripped the Greeks, as though
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the wall had crumbled down in dust. Yet from the
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: deadly conflict flints they not, but stood fast, like to
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: jackals or two wolves, bold robbers of the sheep. When
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: mid the hills, hunter and hound would drive them forth
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: their caves, being grimly purpose there to slay their welves.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I'll be it, tormented by the darts, flee not, but
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: for their cubs sake, bide and fight. So for the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: ship's sake they abode and fought, and for their own lives.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: But you're ripulous affront of all the ships stood taunting them,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: cowed and tastard souls. No darts of yours had given
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: me pause, nor thrust back from your ships, had not
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: your rapp what stayed mine onset rush. He are like
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to dogs that in the forest flinched before a lion,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: sulking there within you are fighting, nay, are shrinking back
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: from death. But if you dare come forth on Trojan ground,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: as once when you were eager for the fray, none
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: shall from the ghastly death deliver you slain by my hand,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Ye all shall lie in dust. So did he shout
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: a prophecy unfulfilled, nor heard Doom's chariot wheels fast rolling near,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: bearing swift death. At Neoptolemy's hands, I saw death gleaming
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: from his glittering spear. Ay, and that hero paused not
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: now from fight, but from the rap hearts smote the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Trojan's eye from that death leaping from above. They quelled
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: in tumult round Euryppolus. Deadly fear gripped all their hearts,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: as little children cower about her father's knees. When thunder
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of Zeus crashes from cloud to cloud, when all the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: air shudders and groans, So did the sons of Troy.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Were those setaians round their great king cower, Ever, as
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Prince near ptolem Is hurled for death rode upon all
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: he cast, and pare his wrath straight, rushing down upon
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the heads of foes. Now when their hearts, those wildered
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Trojans said that once more they beheld Achilles self gigantic
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: in his armor. Yet they hid that horror in their breast,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: lest panic fear should pass from them to the Setaean
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: host and King Euryppolus. On every side they wavered TwixT
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: the stress of their heart streak and that blood curdling dread,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: to shame and fear, as when men treading a precipitous
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: path look up and see and down the mountain slope
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: ate horrent rushing on them, thundering down the rocks, and
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: tre not meet its clamorous flood, but hurry, shuddering on
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: with death in sight, holdingeth not the perils of the path.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: So stayed the Trojans, spite of their desire to flee
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: the imminent death that waited them beneath the wall. God,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: like your ripples, I cheered them on to fight. He
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: trusted still that this new mighty foe would weary at
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: last with toil of slaughter. But he wearied not that
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: desperate battle travail pallace saw and left the halls of
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: heaven incense sweet, and flew on mountain crest. Her hurrying
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: feet touched not the earth borne by the air divine
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: in form of cloud wreaths swifter than the wind. She
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: came to Troy, she stayed her feet upon Sigium's windy ness.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: She looked forth, thence over the ringing battle of dauntless men,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: and gave the Achaean's glory. Achilles sun beyond the rest
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: was filled with valor and strength, which win renowned for
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: men in whom they meet peerless. Was he in both
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: The blood of Zeus gave strength to his father's valor.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Was he heir so by those towers. He smote down
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: many a foe, and as a fissure on the darkling sea,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: to lure the fish to their destruction, takes within his
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: boat the strength of fire. His breath kibbles it to
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: a flame to round the boat, cleareth its splendor, and
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: from the black sea tartaruth the fish, all eager to
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: behold the radiance for the last time. For the barbs
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: of his three pointed spear, as up they leap, slay them.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: His heart rejoices over the prey, so that war King
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Achilles glorious son, slew host of onward rushing foes around
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: that wall of stone. Well thought the Achaeans, all here
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: there are down the ramparts hang again, the wide strand,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: the ships, the battered wall groaned. Ever, men with weary
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: ache of toil fainted on either side. Sinews and might
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: of strong men were unstrung. But o'er the sun of
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Battlestae Achilles, weariness crept not his battle. Eager spirit at
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: eye was tireless, never touched by palsying fear. He fought on,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: as with the triumphant strength of an ever flowing river.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Though it rolled to its blazing forest. Though the maddening
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: blast rolls stormy sees a flame, it feareth not, for
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: at its brink faint grows the fervent heat the strong
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: flood turns its might to impotence. So weariness nor fear
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: could bow the knees of hero Achilles, gallant hearted sun
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: still as he fought, still cheered his comrades on of
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: myriad chefs spreaded him. None might touch his flesh. But
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: even as snowflakes on a rock fell vainly, ever wholly
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: screened was he by broad shield and strong helmet, gifts
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: of a god. In these exulting did the Acciad sons
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: tride along the wall with ringing shouts, cheering the dauntless
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: argives to the fray, being their mightiest far bearing a
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: soul insatiate of the awful onset cry purning with one
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: strong purpose to avenge his father's death. The Murmadans and
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: their king exulted, roared the battle round the wall. Two
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: sons he slew of Megas rich in gold, scion of Damis,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: sons of high renown, cunning to hurl the dart, to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: drive the steed in war, and deftly cast the lads
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: afar porn at one berth besides Sangarius banks a periboea
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: to him, Celtius one and Ubius the other. But not
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: long his boundless wealth enjoyed they, for the fates panned
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: them a thread of life exceeding brief. As on one
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: day they saw the light, they died on one day
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: by the same hand, to the heart of one Neopalamis
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: pettied chauvelin one he smoke down with a massy stone
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: that crash through his strong helmet shattered all its ridge
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: and dashed his brains to earth. Around them fell foes,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: many a host untold. The war God's work waxed ever
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: mightier till the even tide, till fell the light celestial.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Then the host of brave euriplus from the ships drew
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: back a little. They that held those leaguer towers had
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: a short breathing space. The sons of Troy had respite
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: from deadly choking strife from that hard rampart battle. Thoroughly
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: all the Argus had beside their ships been slain. Had
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: not Achilles strong son on that day withstood the host
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: of foes and their great chief Eurypolus came to that
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: young hero side Phoenix, the old and marveling gaze on
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the image of p liaeades. Tides of joy and grief
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: swept o'er him. Grief for memories of that swift footed father,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: joy for sight of such a son. He for sheer wept,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: for never without tears, the tribes of men live, nay
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: not mid the transports of delight. He clasped him round
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: as Father claspeth son, whom, after long and troublous wanderings,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: the gods bring home to gladden a father's heart. So
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: kissed he near Ptolemis's head and breast, clasping him round,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: and cried in rapture of joy, Hell, goodly son of
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: at Achilles, whom I nursed, a little one in mine
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: own arms, with a glad heart by Heaven's high providence,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: like a strong sapling, waxy in his stature. Fast and
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: daily I rejoiced to see his form and powers, my
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: life's blessing, honoring him as though he were the son
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: of mine old age. For like a father did he
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: honor me. I was indeed his father, he my son
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: in spirit. Thou hadst deemed us of one blood, who
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: were in heart won, But of no mold was he,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: by far in form and strength a god. Thou art
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: holy like him? Yea I seem to see alive amid
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: the argives him for whom sharp anguish shrouds me. Ever
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I waste away in sorrowful age, Oh that the grave
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: had closed on me, while yet he lived, How blessed
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: to be by loving hands of kinsmen laid to rest
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Ah child, My sorrowing heart will never more forget him.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Chide me not for this my grief, but now help thou,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: the Myrmadans and Greeks, in their sore strait, creckon thy foe,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: thy wrath, for thy brave sire, it shall be thy
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: renown to slay this war in satiat Telephas son, for
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: mighty ar art thou, and shalt prove than he as
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: was thy father, than his wretched sire made answer Goldenhair
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: to Killy's son. Ancient are battle power's mighty fate and
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: the awe mastering war God shall decide. But as he spake,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: he had fain on that same day. Forth of the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: gates have rushed in his sire's arms. But night, which
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: bringeth men release from toil, rose from ocean, veiled in
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Sable Paul with honor as of mighty Achilles self him
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: mid the ships the glad Greeks held, who had won
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: courage from his eager rush to war with princely presence,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: did they honor him with priceless gifts. Whereby as wealth increased,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: for some gave gold and silver handmade, some pressed without weight,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: gave these and iron. Those others in deep jars brought
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: the ruddy wine yea fleetfoot steeds they gave, and battle
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: gear and rain mid woven fair by women's hands, clothed
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: in the Optolemu's heart for the joy of thee. A
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: feast they made for him amidst the tents, and there
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: extoll'd Achilles, god like son, with praise as the immortal
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: heavenly ones, and joyful voiced Agamemnon spake to him, Thou
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: verily art, a brave soul'd haccaeot son his very image.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Thou in stalwart might, in beauty, stature, courage, and in soul.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: My heart burns in me seeing THEE. I trust thine
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: hands and spear shall smite Yon, host of foes shall
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: smite the city of priorm world renowned. So like thy sire,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Thou art, methinks, I see himself beside the ships, as
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: when his shout of wrath or dead Ptrocolis shook the
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: ranks of Troy. But he is with the immortal ones,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: yet bending from that heaven sends THEE to day to
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: save the Argais on destruction's brink. Answer'd Achilles, battle eager son, cold,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: I might meet him living, yet O King, that so
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: himself might see the son of his love, not shaming
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: his great father's name. I trust so it shall be
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: if the gods grant me life so spaky in wisdom
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: and modesty, and all there marvel at the god like man.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: But when with meat and wine their hearts were filled,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: then rose Achilles battle eager son, and from the feast
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: passed forth unto the tent that was his sire's. Much
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: armor of hero slain lay there, and here and there
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: were captive maids arraying that tent, widowed of its lord,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: as though its king lived. When that son beheld those
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: trojan arms and handmaid thralls, he groaned by passionate longing
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: for his father, seized, as when through dense oak rose
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: and tangled glens, comes to the shadowed cave a lion's whelp,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: whose grim sire by the hun hath been slain. And
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: looketh all around that empty den, and seeth heaps of
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: bones of steeds and kine slain theretofore, and grieveth for
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: his sire, even soul the heart of brave plaeiad the
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: sun with grief was numbed. The handmaid's marveling gazed, and
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: fair Bresaeus self, when she beheld achilles son, was now
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: right glad at heart and sorrowed now with memories of
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: the dead, her soul was wildered all as though indeed
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: there stood the all as a acid living. Yet meanwhile,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: exultant Trojans camped aloof extolled your Ripplis, the fierce and
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: strong as es. They had praised Hector when he smote
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: their foes, defending Troy and all her wealth. But when
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: sweet sleeps stole over mortal men, the sons of Troy
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: and battle biding Greeks all slumber, heavy, slept, unsentineled. End
• 43:06
