Verse
Iliad
Book 10, Line 218 by Samuel Butler (English)
They all held their peace, but Diomedes of the loud war-cry spoke saying, "Nestor, gladly will I visit the host of the Trojans over against us, but if another will go with me I shall do so in greater confidence and comfort. When two men are together, one of them may see some opportunity [ kerdos ] which the other has not caught sight of; if a man is alone he is less full of resource, and his wit [ noos ] is weaker."
