The Iliad 10.447–453
yet even hereafter wilt thou come to the swift ships of the Achaeans, either to spy upon us, or to fight in open combat; but if, subdued beneath my hands, thou lose thy life, never again wilt thou prove a bane to the Argives.
μὴ δή μοι φύξίν γε Δόλων ἐμβάλλεο θυμῷ· ἐσθλά περ ἀγγείλας, ἐπεὶ ἵκεο χεῖρας ἐς ἁμάς. εἰ μὲν γάρ κέ σε νῦν ἀπολύσομεν ἠὲ μεθῶμεν, τε καὶ ὕστερον εἶσθα θοὰς ἐπὶ νῆας Ἀχαιῶν ἠὲ διοπτεύσων ἐναντίβιον πολεμίξων· εἰ δέ κʼ ἐμῇς ὑπὸ χερσὶ δαμεὶς ἀπὸ θυμὸν ὀλέσσῃς, οὐκέτʼ ἔπειτα σὺ πῆμά ποτʼ ἔσσεαι Ἀργείοισιν.
