Verse
Iliad
Book 22, Line 361 by Samuel Butler (English)
When he had thus said the shrouds of death's final outcome [ telos ] enfolded him, whereon his life-breath [ psukhê ] went out of him and flew down to the house of Hades, lamenting its sad fate that it should enjoy youth and strength no longer. But Achilles said, speaking to the dead body, "Die; for my part I will accept my fate whensoever Zeus and the other gods see fit to send it."
