Iliad

Book 24, Line 776 by Samuel Butler (English)

She wept as she spoke and the vast population [ dêmos ] that was gathered round her joined in her lament. Then King Priam spoke to them saying, "Bring wood, O Trojans, to the city, and fear no cunning ambush of the Argives, for Achilles when he dismissed me from the ships gave me his word that they should not attack us until the morning of the twelfth day."
