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

By their names he called them, saying, Come, Whitefoot, and Bayard, and Brilliant, and Flame of Fire.

Remember how the fair Andromache has cared for you, putting you even before me, who am her husband.

Carry me now as fast as you can, that I may take from old Anesta his shield, which men say is made all of gold, and from Diomedes' breastplate, which was wrought for him in the forge of heaven.

so the greeks fled as fast as they could within the wall which they had built for a defence for their ships for hector drove them before him nor was there one who dared stand up against him and the space between the wall and the ships was crowded with chariots and no spirit was left in any man then hera put into the heart of king agamemnon that he should encourage his people to turn again to battle

so the king stood by the ship of ulysses which was in the middle of the ships for they were drawn up in a long line upon the shore and cried out shame on you greeks where are your boats which you boasted before you came to this land how that one of you would be more than a match for a hundred yea for two hundred trojans it was easy to say such words when you ate the flesh of bullocks and drank full cups of wine but now when you are put to the trial

A single Trojan is worth more than you all.

Was there ever a king who had such cowards for his people?

Then the Greeks took courage, and turned again and set upon the Trojans.

And the first of all to turn and slay a Trojan was Diomed.

He drove his spear through the man's back, for now the Trojans were flying in their turn, and tumbled him from his chariot.

And after Diomed came King Agamemnon, and Ajax, and other chiefs.

Among them was Tusa, the brother of Ajax, a skillful archer.

He stood under the shield of his brother, and Ajax would lift the shield a little, and then Tusa would peer out, and take aim and send an arrow at some Trojan and kill him or wound him.

Then he would go back, as a child runs to his mother, and Ajax covered him with his shield.

Eight warriors did he hit in this way, and when King Agamemnon saw him, he said, Shoot on, too, sir, and bring a joy to your people, and to your father.

Surely when we have taken the city of Troy, and shall divide the spoil, you shall have the best gift of all, after mine.

antusa said i need no gifts o king to make me eager i have not ceased to shoot my arrows at these trojans eight arrows have i shot and every one has found its way through some warrior's armor into his flesh but this hector i cannot hit and as he spoke he let fly another arrow at hector from the sling

Him he did not touch, but slew a son of Priam.

And then he shot yet a tenth, and this time he laid low the charioteer who stood by Hector's side.

Then Hector's heart was filled with rage and grief.
