Verse
Iliad
Book 2, Line 250 by Samuel Butler (English)
Drop this chatter about kings, and neither revile them nor keep harping about homecoming [ nostos ]. We do not yet know how things are going to be, nor whether the Achaeans are to return with good success or evil. How dare you gibe at Agamemnon
