bitter   root   to   take   the   pain   away。 Thus   he   waited   for   some   time   with 

Eurypylus�察�but the advice of Nestor was in the end to cause the death of 

Patroclus。      The   battle   now   raged   more   fiercely�察  �while Agamemnon   and 

Diomede and Ulysses could only limp about leaning on their spears�察�and 

again Agamemnon wished to moor the ships near shore�察�and embark in the 

night   and   run   away。   But   Ulysses   was   very   angry   with   him�察  �and   said�此�

;You should lead some other inglorious army�察�not us�察�who will fight on till 

every soul of us perish�察�rather than flee like cowards�                �Be silent�察�lest the 

soldiers hear you speaking of flight�察�such words as no man should utter。                    I 

wholly scorn your counsel�察�for the Greeks will lose heart if�察�in the midst of 

battle�察�you bid them launch the ships。; 

     Agamemnon   was   ashamed�察  �and�察  �by   Diomede's   advice�察  �the   wounded 

kings went down to the verge of the war to encourage the others�察�though 

they were themselves unable to fight。             They rallied the Greeks�察�and Aias 

led them and struck Hector full in the breast with a great rock�察�so that his 

friends carried him out of the battle to the river side�察�where they poured 

water over him�察�but he lay fainting on the ground�察�the black blood gushing 

up from his mouth。         While Hector lay there�察�and all men thought that he 

would   die�察  �Aias   and   Idomeneus   were   driving   back   the   Trojans�察  �and   it 

seemed that�察�even without Achilles and his men�察�the Greeks were able to 

hold their own against the Trojans。             But the battle was never lost while 

Hector   lived。     People   in   those   days   believed   in   ;omens�此─  �they   thought 

that the appearance of birds on the right or left hand meant good or bad 

luck。    Once   during   the   battle   a   Trojan   showed   Hector   an   unlucky   bird�察�

and wanted him to retreat into the town。 But Hector said�察 �One omen is the 

best�此   �to   fight   for   our   own   country。;  While   Hector   lay   between   death 

and life the Greeks were winning�察�for the Trojans had no other great chief 

to lead them。 But Hector awoke from his faint�察�and leaped to his feet and 

ran here and there�察�encouraging the men of Troy。                  Then the most of the 

Greeks fled when they saw him�察�but Aias and Idomeneus�察�and the rest of 

the   bravest�察  �formed   in   a   square   between   the   Trojans   and   the   ships�察  �and 

down on them came Hector and Aeneas and Paris�察�throwing their spears�察�

and slaying on every hand。            The Greeks turned and ran�察�and the Trojans

would   have   stopped   to   strip   the   armour   from   the   slain   men�察  �but   Hector 

cried�此     �Haste to the ships and leave the spoils of war。                  I will slay any 

man who lags behind� ─�

     On   this�察 �all   the Trojans drove  their  chariots   down   into   the ditch   that 

guarded the ships of the Greeks�察�as when a great wave sweeps at sea over 

the side of a vessel�察�and the Greeks were on the ship decks�察�thrusting with 

very   long   spears�察  �used   in   sea   fights�察  �and   the   Trojans   were   boarding   the 

ships�察�and striking with swords and axes。 Hector had a lighted torch and 

tried to set fire to the ship of Aias�察�but Aias kept him back with the long 

spear�察  �and   slew   a Trojan�察  �whose   lighted   torch   fell   from  his   hand。       And 

Aias   kept   shouting�此       �Come   on�察  �and   drive   away   Hector�察  �it   is   not   to   a 

dance that he is calling his men�察�but to battle。; 

     The dead fell in heaps�察�and the living ran over them to mount the heaps 

of   slain   and   climb   the   ships。    Hector   rushed   forward   like   a   sea   wave 

against   a   great   steep   rock�察  �but   like   the   rock   stood   the   Greeks�察  �still   the 

Trojans charged past the beaks of the foremost ships�察�while Aias�察�thrusting 

with a spear more than twenty feet long�察�leaped from deck to deck like a 

man that drives four horses abreast�察�and leaps from the back of one to the 

back   of   another。   Hector   seized   with   his   hand   the   stern   of   the   ship   of 

Protesilaus�察�the prince whom Paris shot when he leaped ashore on the day 

when the Greeks first landed�察�and Hector kept calling�此                     �Bring fire� ─�and 

even Aias�察�in this strange sea fight on land�察�left the decks and went below�察�

thrusting with his spear through the portholes。 Twelve men lay dead who 

had brought fire against the ship which Aias guarded。

       THE SLAYING AND AVENGING 

                        OF PATROCLUS 



     At   this   moment�察  �when   torches   were   blazing   round   the   ships�察  �and   all 

seemed lost�察�Patroclus came out of the hut of Eurypylus�察�whose wound he 

had been tending�察�and he saw that the Greeks were in great danger�察�and ran 

weeping to Achilles。        ;Why do you weep�察─�said Achilles�察 �like a little girl 

that   runs   by  her  mother's   side�察  �and   plucks   at   her gown   and   looks   at   her 

with tears in her eyes�察�till her mother takes her up in her arms�拭                �Is there 

bad news from home that your father is dead�察�or mine�察�or are you sorry 

that   the   Greeks   are   getting   what   they   deserve   for   their   folly�拭─ �Then 

Patroclus     told   Achilles    how     Ulysses    and    many    other    princes   were 

wounded and could not fight�察�and begged to be allowed to put on Achilles' 

armour and lead his men�察�who were all fresh and unwearied�察�into the battle�察�

for a charge of two thousand fresh warriors might turn the fortune of the 

day。 

     Then Achilles   was   sorry   that   he   had   sworn   not   to   fight   himself   till 

Hector     brought    fire  to  his  own    ships。   He     would    lend   Patroclus    his 

armour�察  �and   his   horses�察  �and   his   men�察  �but   Patroclus   must   only   drive   the 

Trojans from the ships�察�and not pursue them。                At this moment Aias was 

weary�察�so many spears smote his armour�察�and he could hardly hold up his 

great shield�察�and Hector cut off his spear´head with the sword�察�the bronze 

head   fell   ringing   on   the   ground�察  �and Aias   brandished   only   the   pointless 

shaft。    So he shrank back and fire blazed all over his ship�察�and Achilles 

saw   it�察  �and   smote   his   thigh�察  �and   bade   Patroclus   make   haste。 Patroclus 

armed himself in the shining armour of Achilles�察�which all Trojans feared�察�

and leaped into the chariot   where Automedon�察�the squire�察�had harnessed 

Xanthus and   Balius�察 �two   horses that   were the  children�察 �men   said�察 �of the 

West Wind�察�and a led horse was harnessed beside them in the side traces。 

Meanwhile        the   two    thousand     men     of   Achilles�察   �who     were    called 

Myrmidons�察�had   met   in   armour�察  �five   companies of   four   hundred   apiece�察�

under five chiefs of noble names。           Forth they came�察�as eager as a pack of

wolves that have eaten a great red deer and run to slake their thirst with 

the dark water of a well in the hills。 

     So   all   in  close    array�察 �helmet     touching     helmet    and    shield   touching 

shield�察�like a moving wall of shining bronze�察�the men of Achilles charged�察�

and Patroclus�察�in the chariot led the way。                Down they came at full speed 

on   the   flank   of   the   Trojans�察  �who   saw   the   leader�察  �and   knew   the   bright 

armour   and   the   horses   of   the   terrible Achilles�察  �and   thought   that   he   had
