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

When Agamemnon had made an end of his speaking, Nestor said to him, The gifts which you are ready to give to the great Achilles,

are such as no man can find fault with.

Let us therefore without delay choose men who may go to his tent and offer them to him.

Let Phoenix go first, for he is dear to the gods, and Achilles also honors him, for indeed Phoenix has the care of him when he was a child.

And with him Ajax the greater should go, and Ulysses also, and let two heralds go with them.

And now let the heralds bring water and pour upon our hands, and let each keep silence while we pray to Zeus that he may have mercy on us, and incline the heart of this man to listen to our entreaties.

Then the heralds brought water and poured it upon the hands of the chiefs, and they filled the bowls with wine.

And each man took his bowl and poured out a little on the ground, praying meanwhile to the gods.

and when they had done this they drank and came out from the king's tent.

And before they went on their errand, old Nestor charged them what they should say.

All of them he charged, but Ulysses most of all, because he was the best speaker of them all.

THE EMBASSY TO ACHILLES So they went along the shore of the sea, and as they went they prayed to the God who shakes the earth.

that is to say, the god of the sea, that he would shake the heart of Achilles.

And when they came to the camp of the Myrmidons, for these were the people of Achilles, they saw the king with a harp in his hand, the harp he had taken from the city of Thebe, which was also the city of Andromache.

He was playing on the harp, and as he played he sang a song about the valiant deeds which the heroes of old time had wrought.

And Petrolicus sat over against him in silence, waiting till he should have ended his singing.

So the three chiefs came forward, Ulysses leading the way, and stood before Achilles.

And he, when he saw them, jumped up from his seat not a little astonished, holding his harp in his hand.

And Petrolicus also rose up from his seat to do them honour.

And Achilles said, You are welcome, my friends.
