The Iliad 3.304–309
I verily will go my way back to windy Ilios, since I can in no wise bear to behold with mine eyes my dear son doing battle with Menelaus, dear to Ares. But this, I ween, Zeus knoweth, and the other immortal gods, for which of the twain the doom of death is ordained.
κέκλυτέ μευ Τρῶες καὶ ἐϋκνήμιδες Ἀχαιοί· ἤτοι ἐγὼν εἶμι προτὶ Ἴλιον ἠνεμόεσσαν ἄψ, ἐπεὶ οὔ πω τλήσομʼ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖσιν ὁρᾶσθαι μαρνάμενον φίλον υἱὸν ἀρηϊφίλῳ Μενελάῳ· Ζεὺς μέν που τό γε οἶδε καὶ ἀθάνατοι θεοὶ ἄλλοι ὁπποτέρῳ θανάτοιο τέλος πεπρωμένον ἐστίν.
