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

And King Agamemnon called all the chiefs to a feast, and to Ajax he gave the chine.

The Trojans also feasted in their city.

But Zeus sent thunder all that night, to be a sign of trouble to come.

End of How Hector and Ajax Fought Section 11 of the Iliad for Boys and Girls

THE BATTLE ON THE PLAIN When it was morning, Zeus called all the gods and goddesses to an assembly on top of Mount Olympus, and said to them, Now listen to me and obey.

No one of you shall help either the Greeks or the Trojans, and mark this.

If any god or goddess dares to do so, I will throw him down from here into the outer darkness, and there he shall learn that I am lord in heaven.

Does any one of you think that I am not stronger than you?

Yes, than all of you put together.

Well, let it be put to the trial.

Let down a golden chain from heaven to earth, and take hold of it, all of you.

and see whether you can drag me from the throne.

You cannot do it, not though you pull with all your might.

But if I should choose to put out all my strength, I could lift you up, and the earth and the sea with you, and fasten the chain round one of the peaks of this mountain Olympus here, and leave you hanging in the air.

So did Zeus speak, and all the gods sat saying nothing, for they were terribly afraid.

But at last Athena said, Father, we know right well that none of us can stand up against you, and yet we cannot help pitying the Greeks, for we fear they will be altogether destroyed.

We will not help them, for this you forbid, but if you will permit, we will give them advice.

And Zeus smiled, for Athena was his daughter, and he loved her better than any other among the gods and goddesses, and he gave his consent.

then he had his horses yoked to his chariot and touched them with his whip and they flew midway between heaven and earth till they came to a certain mountain which was called ida and was near to troy there he sat down and watched the battle for the time was to come when he would keep the promise which he had made to foetus the greeks ate their food in haste and freshened themselves to battle and the trojans also armed themselves inside the city

and when they were ready the gates were opened and they went out.
