different languages�察�but the Greeks came on silently。               Then the two front 

lines clashed�察�shield against shield�察�and the noise was like the roaring of 

many   flooded   torrents   among   the   hills。     When   a   man   fell   he   who   had 

slain him tried to strip off his armour�察�and his friends fought over his body 

to save the dead from this dishonour。 

     Ulysses fought above a wounded friend�察�and drove his spear through 

head   and   helmet   of   a   Trojan   prince�察  �and   everywhere   men   were   falling 

beneath   spears   and   arrows   and   heavy   stones   which   the   warriors   threw。 

Here Menelaus speared the man who built the ships with which Paris had 

sailed to Greece�察�and the dust rose like a cloud�察�and a mist went up from 

the fighting men�察�while Diomede stormed across the plain like a river in 

flood�察�leaving dead bodies behind him as the river leaves boughs of trees 

and grass to mark its course。         Pandarus wounded Diomede with an arrow�察�

but Diomede slew him�察�and the Trojans were being driven in flight�察�when 

Sarpedon   and   Hector   turned   and   hurled   themselves   on   the   Greeks�察  �and 

even Diomede shuddered when Hector came on�察�and charged at Ulysses�察�

who was slaying Trojans as he went�察�and the battle swayed this way and 

that�察�and the arrows fell like rain。 

     But Hector was sent into the city to bid the women pray to the goddess 

Athene   for   help�察  �and   he   went   to   the   house   of   Paris�察  �whom   Helen   was 

imploring to go and fight like a man�察�saying�此              �Would that the winds had 

wafted me away�察�and the tides drowned me�察�shameless that I am�察�before 

these things came to pass� ─�

     Then Hector went to see his dear wife�察�Andromache�察�whose father had 

been slain by Achilles early in the siege�察�and he found her and her nurse 

carrying her little boy�察�Hector's son�察�and like a star upon her bosom lay his 

beautiful and shining golden head。            Now�察�while Helen urged Paris to go 

into the fight�察�Andromache prayed Hector to stay with her in the town�察�and 

fight no more lest he should be slain and leave her a widow�察�and the boy 

an   orphan�察 �with   none  to   protect   him。    The  army  she  said�察 �should   come 

back within the walls�察�where they had so long been safe�察�not fight in the 

open plain。      But Hector answered that he would never shrink from battle�察�

;yet I know this in my heart�察�the day shall come for holy Troy to be laid 

low�察�and Priam and the people of Priam。               But this and my own death do 

not trouble me so much as the thought of you�察�when you shall be carried as 

a slave to Greece�察�to spin at another woman's bidding�察�and bear water from 

a Grecian well。       May the heaped up earth of my tomb cover me ere I hear 

thy cries and the tale of thy captivity。; 

     Then Hector stretched out his hands to his little boy�察�but the child was 

afraid    when    he   saw   the  great   glittering   helmet    of  his  father   and   the 

nodding   horsehair   crest。      So   Hector   laid   his   helmet   on   the   ground   and 

dandled the child in his arms�察�and tried to comfort his wife�察�and said good´ 

bye for the last time�察�for he never came back to Troy alive。                 He went on 

his way back to the battle�察�and Paris went with him�察�in glorious armour�察�

and soon they were slaying the princes of the Greeks。 

     The battle raged till nightfall�察�and in the night the Greeks and Trojans 

burned   their   dead�察  �and   the   Greeks   made   a   trench   and   wall   round   their

camp�察�which they needed for safety now that the Trojans came from their 

town and fought in the open plain。 

     Next   day   the    Trojans     were   so   successful     that  they   did   not   retreat 

behind   their   walls   at   night�察  �but   lit   great   fires   on   the   plain�此�a   thousand 

fires�察�with fifty men taking supper round each of them�察�and drinking their 

wine to the music of flutes。           But the Greeks were much discouraged�察�and 

Agamemnon          called    the  whole     army    together�察   �and   proposed      that  they 

should      launch    their   ships   in   the   night   and    sail  away     home。     Then 

Diomede stood up�察�and said�此              �You called me a coward lately。              You are 

the coward�        �Sail away if you are afraid to remain here�察�but all the rest of 

us will fight till we take Troy town。; 

     Then   all   shouted   in   praise   of   Diomede�察  �and   Nestor   advised   them   to 

send five hundred young men�察�under his own son�察�Thrasymedes�察�to watch 

the   Trojans�察  �and   guard   the   new   wall   and   the   ditch�察  �in   case   the   Trojans 

attacked   them   in   the   darkness。      Next   Nestor   counselled Agamemnon   to 

send Ulysses and Aias to Achilles�察�and promise to give back Briseis�察�and 

rich presents of gold�察�and beg pardon for his insolence。                  If Achilles would 

be   friends   again   with   Agamemnon�察  �and   fight   as   he   used   to   fight�察  �the 

Trojans would soon be driven back into the town。 

     Agamemnon   was   very   ready   to   beg   pardon�察  �for   he   feared   that   the 

whole army would be defeated�察�and cut off from their ships�察�and killed or 

kept    as   slaves。    So    Ulysses     and   Aias   and    the  old   tutor   of  Achilles�察�

Phoenix�察�went to Achilles and argued with him�察�praying him to accept the 

rich presents�察�and help the Greeks。             But Achilles answered that he did not 

believe a word that Agamemnon said�察�Agamemnon had always hated him�察�

and   always   would   hate   him。        No�察  �he   would   not   cease   to   be   angry�察  �he 

would sail away next day with all his men�察�and he advised the rest to come 

with him。      ;Why be so fierce�拭─�said tall Aias�察�who seldom spoke。                    ;Why 

make   so   much   trouble   about   one   girl�拭      �We   offer   you   seven   girls�察  �and 

plenty of other gifts。; 

     Then Achilles said that he would not sail away next day�察�but he would 

not fight till the Trojans tried to burn his own ships�察�and there he thought 

that   Hector     would    find   work    enough     to   do。   This    was    the  most    that 

Achilles   would   promise�察  �and   all   the   Greeks   were   silent   when   Ulysses

delivered his message。         But Diomede arose and said that�察�with or without 

Achilles�察  �fight   they   must�察  �and   all   men�察  �heavy   at   heart�察  �went   to   sleep   in 

their huts or in the open air at their doors。 

     Agamemnon was much too anxious to sleep。                   He saw the glow of the 

thousand fires of the Trojans in the dark�察�and heard their merry flutes�察�and 

he groaned and pulled out his long hair by handfuls。 When he was tired of 

crying and groaning and tearing his hair�察�he thought that he would go for 

advice to old Nestor。         He threw a lion skin�察�the coverlet of his bed�察�over 

his shoulder�察�took his spear�察�went out and met Menelausfor he�察�too�察�could 

not sleepand Menelaus proposed to send a spy among the Trojans�察�if any 

man were brave enough to go�察�for the Trojan camp was all alight with fires�察�

and   the   adventure   was   dangerous。        Therefore   the   two   wakened   Nestor 

and   the   other   chiefs�察  �who   came   just   as   they   were�察  �wrapped   in   the   fur 

coverlets   of   their   beds�察  �without   any   armour。    First   they   visited   the   five 

hundred young men set to watch the wall�察�and then they crossed the ditch 

and sat down outside and considered what might be don
