Iliad
RAGE : Sing , Goddess , Achilles’ rage ,
Black and murderous , that cost the Greeks
Incalculable pain , pitched countless souls
Of heroes into Hades’ dark ,
And left their bodies to rot as feasts
For dogs and birds , as Zeus’ will was done .
Begin with the clash between Agamemnon—
The Greek warlord—and godlike Achilles .

5οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι , Διὸς δ᾽ ἐτελείετο βουλή ,
ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε
Ἀτρεΐδης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς .
τίς τ᾽ ἄρ σφωε θεῶν ἔριδι ξυνέηκε μάχεσθαι ;
