The Iliad 17.485–490
Aeneas, counsellor of the brazen-coated Trojans, yonder I espy the two horses of the swift-footed son of Aeacus coming forth to view into the battle with weakling charioteers. These twain might I hope to take, if thou in thy heart art willing, seeing the men would not abide the oncoming of us two,and stand to contend with us in battle. and stand to contend with us in battle.
Αἰνεία Τρώων βουληφόρε χαλκοχιτώνων ἵππω τώδʼ ἐνόησα ποδώκεος Αἰακίδαο ἐς πόλεμον προφανέντε σὺν ἡνιόχοισι κακοῖσι· τώ κεν ἐελποίμην αἱρησέμεν, εἰ σύ γε θυμῷ σῷ ἐθέλεις, ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἂν ἐφορμηθέντε γε νῶϊ τλαῖεν ἐναντίβιον στάντες μαχέσασθαι Ἄρηϊ.
