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

Let him keep her if he will, but let him not ask me any more to fight against the Trojans.

There are other chiefs whom he has not wronged and shamed in this way.

Let him go to them and take counsel with them, how he may keep away the devouring fire from the ships.

Many things he has done already.

He has built a wall and dug a ditch about it,

Can he not keep Hector from the ships with them?

And yet, in the time past when I used to fight, this Hector dared not set his army in array far from the walls of Troy.

Nay, he scarce ventured to come outside the gates.

Once, indeed, did he gather his courage together and stand up against me, to fight man with man, and then he barely escaped from my spear.

But neither with him nor with any other of the sons of Troy will I fight again.

Tomorrow I will do sacrifice to Zeus and to the other gods, and I will store my ships with food and water, and launch them on the sea.

Yes, early in the morning tomorrow, if you care to look, you will see my ships upon the sea, and my men rowing with all their might.

And if the gods of the sea give me good passage, on the third day I shall come to my own dear country, even to Pythia.

There the riches which I left behind me when I came to this land of Troy, and thither shall I carry such things, gold and silver and slaves, as King Agamemnon has not taken from me.

But with him I will never take counsel again, nor will I stand by his side in battle.

As for his gifts, I scorn them.

Ay, and were they twenty times as great, I would scorn them still.

Not with all the wealth of Thebes, which is in the land of Egypt, would he persuade me.

and then Thebes, there is no wealthier city in all the world.

A hundred gates it has, and through each gate two hundred warriors ride forth to battle with chariots and horses.
