The Iliad for Boys and Girls by Alfred J. Church.

The Repentance of Agamemnon While the Trojans made merry, being full of hope that they would soon be rid of their enemies, the Greeks, on the other hand, were full of trouble and fear.

And not one of them was more sad at heart than King Agamemnon.

After a while he called to the heralds and told them to go round to the chiefs and bid them come to a council.

"'Bid them one by one,' he said, "'and do not proclaim the thing publicly, for I would not have the people know of it.'

So the chiefs came and sat down, each man in his seat.

Not a word did they say, but looked sadly on the ground.

At last King Agamemnon stood up and spoke.

Oh, my friends, lords and rulers of the Greeks, truly Zeus seems to hate me.

Once he promised me that I should take this city of Troy and return home in safety, but this promise he has not kept.

I must go back to the place from which I came without honour, having lost many of those who came with me.

But now, before we all perish, let us flee in our ships to our own land, for Troy we may not take.

and when the king had finished his speech the chief sat still not saying a word for they were out of heart but after a while seeing that no one else would speak brave diomed stood up in his place and said o king do not be angry if i say that this talk of yours about fleeing in our ships to our own land is nothing but madness it was but two days since that you called me a coward

whether this be true the greeks both young and old know well i will not say yes or no but this time i tell you zeus has given you to be first among the greeks and to be a king among kings but courage he has not given you and courage is the best gift of all and without it all others are of no account now if you are bent on going back go your ships are ready to be launched and the way is short

but all the other Greeks will stay till they have taken the city of Troy.

I, and if they also choose to go with you, still I will stay.

I and Thenalus here, my friend.
