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

and suffer peace to be made between us do you greeks choose out from those who are strongest and bravest among you some one who will fight with me man to man and let this be agreed between us if this man shall conquer me then he shall take my arms for himself but he shall give my body back to my people that they may burn it with fire

and in a like manner if I shall conquer him, then I will take his arms for myself.

But I will give his body to his people, that they may bury it and raise a great mound over it.

And so, in days to come, men who shall see it, as they sail by, will say, This is the tomb of the bravest of the Greeks, whom Hector of Troy killed in battle, fighting him man to man.

So my name will be remembered for ever.

When the Greeks heard these words, they all stood still, saying nothing.

They feared to meet the great Hector in battle, for he seemed to be stronger than he had ever been before.

But they were ashamed to hold back.

Then Menelaus jumped up in his place and cried, Surely now ye are women, and not men.

What a shame it is to Greece that no one can be found to fight with this Hector.

I will fight in my own self, for the gods give the victory to one man or to another as they will.

So spoke Menelaus, for he was very angry, and did not care whether he lived or died.

And, indeed, it would have been his death to fight with Hector, who was by much the stronger of the two.

But King Agamemnon would not suffer him to be so rash.

Nay, my brother, he said, this is but folly.

Seek not to fight with one who is much stronger than you.

Even Achilles was not willing to meet him.

Sit still, therefore, for the Greeks will find some champion to meet him.

and Menelaus hearkened to his brother's words, and sat down.

But when no one stood up to offer himself to fight with Hector, old Nestor rose in his place and said, Now this is a sad day for Greece.
