Story of King Arthur, in Twelve Tales · Iliad for Boys and Girls-Alfred John Church · 6 Aug 2026 podcast

If thou wilt have pity on the wives and children of the men of Troy.

that we will offer to thee twelve heifers that have never been made to draw the plough.

So the priestess prayed, but Athena would not hear.

And indeed it was she who stirred up Diomedes to fight so fiercely against Troy, and had given him fresh strength and courage.

Meanwhile Hector went to the house of Paris.

It stood on the citadel, close to his own house, and to the palace of King Priam.

He found him cleaning his arms and armour, and the fair Helen sat near him, with her maids busy with needlework.

Then Hector thought to himself, If I tell him that he went away from the battle because he was afraid, then I shall offend him and do no good.

I will try another way.

So he said, O Paris, is it right that you should stand aside and not fight in the battle, because you are angry with your countrymen?

The people perish, and the fight grows hotter and hotter every minute about the city.

Rouse yourself and come forth, before Troy is burnt up.

For remember, it is you that are the cause of all these troubles.

then paris answered o brother you have spoken well but it was not because i was angry that i came away from the battle it was because i was so much ashamed of being beaten but now i will come back for this is what my wife would have me do maybe i shall do better another time for the gods give victory now to one man and now to another

then the fair helen said to hector sit down now and rest a little for you must be very tired with all that you have done but hector answered you must not ask me to rest i must make haste to help my countrymen for indeed they are in sore need of help but do you see that your husband overtakes me before i go out of the city gate now i am going to my house to see my wife and my little boy for i do not know whether i shall ever see them again

When he said this, Hector went to his house to see his wife Andromeche, for that was her name.

But he did not find her at home, for she had gone to the wall, being very much afraid for her husband.

Hector asked the maids, Where is the lady Andromeche?

Has she gone to see one of her sisters-in-law, or maybe with the other mothers of Troy, to the temple of Athena?

Then an old woman, who was the housekeeper, said, Nay, she went to one of the towers of the wall, that she might see the battle, for she had heard that the Greeks were pressing our people very much.
