Iliad

Book 1, Line 275 by Samuel Butler (English)

Therefore, Agamemnon, though you be prestigious, take not this girl away, for the sons of the Achaeans have already given her to Achilles; and you, Achilles, strive not further with the king, for no man who by the grace of Zeus wields a scepter has like honor [ timê ] with Agamemnon.
