Rage - Goddess, sing the rage ...

Rage - Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus\' son Achilles, murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses, hurling down to the House of Death so many sturdy souls, great fighters\' souls, but made their bodies carrion, feasts for the dogs and birds, and the will of Zeus was moving toward its end. Begin, Muse, when the two first broke and clashed, Agamemnon lord of men and brilliant Achilles.

Quotes from the same author

Here, therefore, huge and mighty warrior though you be, here shall you die.
O Friends, be men, and let your hearts be strong And let no warrior in the heat of fight, Do what may bring him shame in others' eyes
once it slips through a man's clenched teeth.
And twins ev'n from the birth are Misery and Man!
Men grow tired of sleep, love, singing and dancing sooner than of war.
