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

Achilles was mad with anger to hear this, and said to himself,

now i will slay this villain where he sits and he half drew his sword from its scabbard but at that instant the goddess athena stood behind him and seized him by his long yellow hair and when he turned to see who had done this he could perceive the goddess

But no one else in the assembly could see her, and said, Are you come to see this villain die?

Nay, she answered, I am come to stay your age.

Queen Hera and I love you both.

Draw not your sword, but say what you will.

Someday he will pay you back three times and four times for all the wrong he shall do.

Achilles answered, I will do as you bid, for he who hears the gods is heard by them.

So he thrust back his sword into the scabbard, and Athena went back to Olympus.

Then he turned to Agamemnon and cried, Drunkard, with the eyes of a dog and the heart of a deer, hear what I tell you now.

See this sceptre that I have in my hand?

Once it was the branch of a tree, now a king carries it in his hand.

As surely as it will never more shoot forth in leaves, so surely will the Greeks one day miss Achilles.

And you, when you see your people falling by the swords of the Trojans,

We'll be sorry that you have done this wrong to the bravest man in your army.

And he dashed the sceptre on the ground and sat down.

Then the old man Nestor stood up and would have made peace between the two.

Listen to me, he said.

Great chiefs of old, with whom no one now alive would dare to fight, were used to listen to me.

You, King Agamemnon, do not take away from the brave Achilles the gift that the Greeks gave him.
