Verse
Iliad
Book 6, Line 381 by Samuel Butler (English)
His good housekeeper answered, "Hektor, since you bid me tell you truly [ alêthea ], she did not go to your sisters nor to your brothers' wives, nor yet to the temple of Athena, where the other women are propitiating the awful goddess, but she is on the high wall of Ilion , for she had heard the Trojans were being hard pressed, and that the Achaeans were in great force: she went to the wall in frenzied haste, and the nurse went with her carrying the child."
