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

Lose your horses from your chariots and give them their food.

Go, some of you, to the city, and fetch thence cattle and sheep and wine and bread, that we may have plenty to eat and drink.

Also fetch fuel, that we may burn fires all the night, that we may sit by them, and also that we see whether the Greeks will try to escape in the night.

Truly they shall not go in peace.

Many we will kill, and the rest shall, at the least, carry away with him a wound for him to heal at home, that so no man may come again and trouble this city of Troy.

The heralds also shall go to the city, and make a proclamation that the old men and boys shall guard the wall, and that every woman shall light a hearth-fire, and that all shall keep watch, lest the enemy should enter the city while the people are fighting at the ships.

And now I will say no more, but to-morrow I shall have other words to speak to you.

But know this, that to-morrow we will arm ourselves and drive these Greeks to their ships, and, if it may be, burn these ships with fire.

Then we shall know whether the bold Diomedes shall drive me back from the wall, or whether he shall be slain with the spear.

To-morrow shall surely bring ruin on the Greeks.

I would that I were as sure of living for ever and ever, and of being honoured as the gods are honoured.

So Hector spoke, and all the Trojans shouted with joy to hear such words.

Then they unharnessed the horses and fetched Pravanda from the city, and also gathered a great store of fuel.

They sat all night in the hope of what the next day would bring.

As on a calm night the stars shone bright, so shone the watch-fires of the Trojans.

A thousand fires were burning, and by each fire sat fifty men.

And the horses stood by the chariots, champing oats and barley.

So they all waited for morning.

End of the battle on the plain.
