Iliad
Book 17, Line 240 by Samuel Butler (English)
who will shortly become meat for the dogs and vultures of Troy , than for the safety of my own head and yours. Hektor has wrapped us round in a storm of battle from every quarter, and our destruction seems now certain. Call then upon the princes of the Danaans if there is any who can hear us."
