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

And as for his daughter whom he would give me to be my wife, I would not marry her.

No, not though she was as beautiful as Aphrodite herself, and as skilled in all the works of the needle as Athena.

Let him choose for his son-in-law some chief of the Greeks who is better than I am.

As for me,

If the gods suffer me to reach my home, my father Pellas shall choose me a wife.

Many maidens, daughters of kings, are there in Pythia and in Hellas, and not one among them who would scorn me if I came a-wooing.

Often, in times past, I have thought to do this thing, to marry a wife, and to settle down in peace and to enjoy the riches of the old man my father, and such things as I have gathered for myself.

For long since my mother, Thetis of the Sea, said to me,

My son, there are two lots of life before you, and you may choose which you will.

If you stay in this land and fight against Troy, then you must never go back to your own land, but will die in your youth.

Only your name will live forever.

But if you will leave this land and go back to your home, then shall you live long, even to old age, but your name will be forgotten.

Once I thought fame was a better thing than life.

But now my mind is changed, for indeed my fame is taken from me, seeing that King Agamemnon puts me to shame before all the people.

And now I go away to my own land, and I counsel you to go also, for Troy you will never take.

The city is dear to Zeus, and he puts courage into the hearts of the people.

And take this answer back to the man who sent you.

Find some other way of keeping Hector and the Trojans from the ships, for my help he shall not have.

but let phoenix stay with me this night that he may go with me in my ship when i depart to-morrow nevertheless if he choose rather to stay let him stay for i would not take him by force and when achilles had ended his speech all the chiefs sat silent so vehement was he end of the embassy to achilles
