The Iliad 3.365–368
Father Zeus, than thou is no other god more baleful. Verily I deemed that I had got me vengeance upon Alexander for his wickedness, but now is my sword broken in my hands, and forth from my grasp has my spear flown in vain, and I smote him not. So saying, he sprang upon him, and seized him by the helmet with thick crest of horse-hair,
Ζεῦ πάτερ οὔ τις σεῖο θεῶν ὀλοώτερος ἄλλος· τʼ ἐφάμην τίσασθαι Ἀλέξανδρον κακότητος· νῦν δέ μοι ἐν χείρεσσιν ἄγη ξίφος, ἐκ δέ μοι ἔγχος ἠΐχθη παλάμηφιν ἐτώσιον, οὐδʼ ἔβαλόν μιν.
