Verse
Iliad
Book 16, Line 431 by Samuel Butler (English)
The son of scheming Kronos looked down upon them in pity and said to Hera who was his wife and sister, "Alas, that it should be the lot of Sarpedon whom I love so dearly to perish by the hand of Patroklos. I am in two minds whether to catch him up out of the fight and set him down safe and sound in the fertile district [ dêmos ] of Lycia , or to let him now fall by the hand of the son of Menoitios."
