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

She knelt down before him, and her left hand she laid upon his knees.

and with the right hand she caught hold of his beard.

Then she made this prayer to him, O father Zeus, if I have ever helped thee at all, now give me what I ask, namely, that my son Achilles may have honour done to him.

Agamemnon has shamed him, taking away the gift that the Greeks gave him.

Do thou, therefore, make the Trojans prevail for a while in battle, so that the Greeks may find that they cannot do without him.

So shall my son have honour.

For a long time Zeus sat saying nothing, for he knew that great trouble would come out of this thing.

But Thetis still held him fast by the knees and by the beard, and she spoke again, saying, "'Promise me this thing, and make your promise sure by nodding your head, or else say outright that you will not do it.

Then I shall know that you despise me.'

Zeus answered, "'This is a hard thing that you ask.'

you will make a dreadful quarrel between me and the lady hera my wife and she will say many bitter words to me even now she tells me i favor the trojans too much go then as quickly as you can that she may not know that you have been here and i will think how i may best do what you ask and see i will make my promise sure with a nod for when i nod my head then the thing may not be repented of or undone

So he nodded his head, and all Olympus was shaken.

Then Thetis went away, and dived down into the sea.

And Zeus went to his palace, and when he came in at the door, all the gods rose up in their places, and stood till he sat down on his throne.

But Hera knew that Thetis had been with him, and she was very angry, and spoke bitter words.

"'Who has been with you, O lover of plots?

When I am not here, then you take pleasure in hiding what you do, and in keeping things from me.'

Zeus answered, "'O Hera, do not think to know all of my thoughts.

That is too hard for you, even though you are my wife.'

That which it is right for you to know, I will tell you, before I tell it to any other god.
