declares to Glaukos,(Book XII.322-28),“,Man,supposing you and I,escaping this battle,would be able to live on forever,ageless,immortal,so neither would I myself go on fighting in the foremost nor would I urge you into the fighting where men win glory.But now,seeing that the spirits of death stand close about us in their thousands,no man can turn aside nor escape them,let us go on and win glory for ourselves,or yield it to others14,Iliad,(Book XXI),Wrath of Achilles,Part II,Death of Patrocles and Achilles Armor,Death of Lycaon:a ruthless death,Death of Hector:revenge,Is Achilles anger

ash.,The bronze around him glitteredlike a blazing fire or rising sun.,At that moment,as he watched,Hector began to shake in fear.His courage gone,he could no longer stand there.Terrified,he started running,leaving the gate.Peleus son went after him,sure of his speed on foot.Just as a mountain falcon,the fastest creatureof all the ones which fly,swoops down easilyon a trembling pigeon as it darts off in fear,the hawk speeding after it with piercing cries,heart driving it to seize the prey,i,n just that wayAchilles in his fury raced ahead16,Hector faces Achilles,When theyd approached each other,at close quarters,great Hector of the shining helmet spoke out first:Ill no longer try to run away from you,son of Peleus,as I did before,goingthree times in flight around Priams great city.I lacked the courage then to fight with you,as you attacked.,But my heart prompts me nowto stand against you face to face once more,whether I kill you,or you kill me.So come here.,Lets call on gods to witness,for theyre the best ones to observe our pact,to supervise what we two agree on.If Zeus grants me the strength to take your life,Ill not abuse your corpse in any way.,Ill strip your celebrated armour off,Achilles,then give the body back againto the Achaeans.,And youll do the same.,Swift-footed Achilles,with a scowl,replied:Hector,dont talk to me of our agreements.Thats idiotic,like a faithful promisebetween men and lions.,Wolves and lambsdont share a common heart,t,hey always sensea mutual hatred for each other.In just that way,its not possible for us,for you and me,to be friends,or,indeed,for there to be sworn oaths between us,till one or other of us falls,glutting Ares,warrior with the bulls hide shield,on blood.Youd best remember all your fighting skills.Now you must declare yourself a spearman,a fearless warrior.,Youve got no escape.,Soon Pallas Athena will destroy youon my spear.,Right now youll pay me back,the full price of those sorrows I went through when you slaughtered my companions.”,With these words,he hefted his long-shadowed spear,then hurled it.,17,Achilles abuses Hectors body,Then on noble Hectors corpsehe carried out a monstrous act.,He cut throughthe tendons behind both feet,from heel to ankle,threaded them with ox-hide thongs,and then tied theseonto his chariot,leaving the head to drag behind.He climbed up in his chariot,brought on the splendid armour,then lashed his horses.,They sped off eagerly,dragging Hector.,A dust cloud rose above him,his dark hair spread out round him,and Hectors head,once so handsome,was covered by the dust,for Zeushad given him to his enemies to dishonourin his own native land.,So all his head grew dirty.,From Book XXII,translated by Ian
