Verse
Iliad
Book 15, Line 661 by Samuel Butler (English)
"Be men, my friends," he cried, "and give respect [ aidôs ] to one another's good opinion. Think, all of you, on your children, your wives, your property, and your parents whether these be alive or dead. On their behalf though they are not here, I implore you to stand firm, and not to turn in flight."
