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

When Hera heard it, she said to Athena, It is not wise for us two to fight with Zeus for the sake of men.

Let them live or die, as he may think best, but we will not set ourselves against him.

So Hera turned the chariot, and they went back to Olympus, and sat down in their chairs of gold among the other gods.

Very sad and angry were they.

When Zeus saw that they had gone back, he left Mount Ida and went to Olympus, and came into the hall where the gods were assembled.

When he saw Hera and Athena sitting by themselves with gloomy faces, he mocked them, saying, Why do you look so sad?

Surely it cannot be that you have tired yourselves by joining in the battle and slaying these Trojans whom you hate so much.

But if it is because the thing that I will does not please you, then know that what I choose to happen, that shall happen.

Yes, if all the other gods should join against me, still I shall prevail over them.

And when Zeus had so spoken, then Athena, for all that her heart was bursting with anger, said nothing.

But Hera would not keep silence.

Well do we know, O Zeus, that you are stronger than all the gods.

Nevertheless, we cannot but pity the Greeks when we see them perishing in this way.

Zeus spake again, Is that so?

Do you pity the Greeks for what they have suffered to-day?

To-morrow you shall see worse things than these, O Queen, for Hector will not cease driving the Greeks before him, and slaying them till the great Achilles himself shall be moved, and shall rise from his place where he sits by his ships.

and now the sun sank into the sea and the night fell the trojans were angry that the darkness had come and that they could not see any longer but the greeks were glad of the night for it was a shelter to them and gave them time to breathe then hector called the trojans to an assembly at the place that was near the river where the ground was clear of dead bodies

he stood in the middle of the people holding in his hand a spear sixteen feet or more in length with a shining head of bronze and a band of gold by which the head was fastened to the shaft what he said to the people was this hearken men of troy and ye are allies who have come to help us i thought that to-day we should destroy the army of the greeks and burn their ships and so go back to troy and live in peace

but night has come and hinders us from finishing our work.

Let us sit down, therefore, and rest and take a meal.
