The
Iliad, Book 1:1-10
Rage - Goddess, sing rage of Peleus
son Achilles
murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans
countless losses,
hurling down to the House of Death so
many sturdy souls, great fighter's souls,
but made their bodies carrion,
feast for the dogs and birds,
and the will of Zeus was moving towards
its end.
Begin, Muse, when the two first broke
and clashed,
Agamemnon lord of men and
brilliant Achilles. |
