Verse
Iliad
Book 16, Line 619 by Samuel Butler (English)
And Meriones answered, "Aeneas, for all your bravery, you will not be able to make an end of every one who comes against you. You are only a mortal like myself, and if I were to hit you in the middle of your shield with my spear, however strong and self-confident you may be, I should soon vanquish you, and you would yield your life-breath [ psukhê ] to Hades of the noble steeds."
