Verse
Iliad
Book 13, Line 221 by Samuel Butler (English)
And Idomeneus chief among the Cretans answered, "Thoas, no one, so far as I know, is responsible [ aitios ], for we can all fight. None are held back neither by fear nor slackness, but it seems to be the of almighty Zeus that the Achaeans should perish ingloriously here far from Argos : you, Thoas, have been always staunch, and you keep others in heart if you see any fail in duty; be not then remiss now, but exhort all to do their utmost."
