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

For not only is this Achilles a great warrior, but he is dear to Zeus.

And he that is dear to Zeus is worth more than whole armies of other men.

See now how we are put to flight when he stands aside from the battle.

This surely is the doing of Zeus.

And now, as I did him wrong, so I will make amends, giving him many times more than that which I took from him.

Hear now the gifts which I will give him.

Seven kettles standing on three feet, new which the fire has never touched, ten talents of gold and twenty bright cauldrons, and twelve strong horses which have won many prizes for me by their swiftness.

The man who had as much gold of his own as these twelve horses have won for me would not be a beggar.

Also I will give him some women slaves, skilled with their needle, and another work of the hands, who were in my portion of the spoil, when we took the island of Lesbos.

Yes, and I will send him the maiden Briseis, whom I took from him.

And when, by favour of the gods, we shall have taken the city of Troy, and shall divide the spoil, then let him come and choose for himself twenty women, the most beautiful that there are in the city, after the fair Helen, for none can be so beautiful as she.

and i will give him yet more than this when we get back to the land of greece then he shall be as a son to me and i will honor him even as i honor my own son three daughters have i in my palace at home of these he shall have the one whom he shall choose for his wife and shall take her to the house of his father

nor shall he give any gifts, as a man is used to give when he seeks a maiden for his wife.

He shall have my daughter without a price, and more than this I will give her a great dowry, such as a king has never before given to his daughter.

Seven fair cities will I give him, and with each city fields in which many herds foxen, and flocks of sheep are grazing, and vineyards out of which much wine is made.

And the people of these cities shall honour him as their lord and master.

All these things will I give him, only he will cease from his anger.

Let him listen to our prayers, for of all things that are in the world, there is but one that does not listen to prayers, and this one thing is death.

And this verily is the cause why death is hated of all men.

Let him therefore not be as death.
