Verse
Iliad
Book 4, Line 411 by Samuel Butler (English)
Diomedes looked sternly at him and said, "Hold your peace, my friend, as I bid you. It is not amiss that Agamemnon should urge the Achaeans forward, for the glory will be his if we take the city, and his the grief [ penthos ] if we are vanquished. Therefore let us acquit ourselves with valor."
