Excerpt from The Iliad of Homer, Vol. 2 of 2: Translated Ye, if to valour, not to chill dismay, Ye turn your thoughts - ye two will save the host. Elsewhere, albeit they swarm across the wall, I dread not unwithstood the ranks of Troy Elsewhere our mailed warriors may suffice But there, I dread, some mortal hurt may hap, Where Hector, flamelike, in this fury's height, Leads, and boasts loud his birth from mighty Zeus. But let some God implant it in your hearts Yourselves to stand, and give your followers cheer, Then, though the great Olympian fires him on, Ye yet may stave his onset off the ships.
