“Listen to me, you Trojans and you strong-greaved Achaians.
Now I am going away to windy Ilion, homeward,
Since I cannot look with these eyes on the sight of my dear son
Fighting against warlike Menelaos in single combat.
Zeus knows—maybe he knows—and the rest of the gods immortal
For which of the two death is appointed to end this matter.”
—Homer, The Iliad, trans. Richmond Lattimore, (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1951), p. 108 (3.304-9).
