The Iliad 5.464–469
how long will ye still suffer your host to be slain by the Achaeans? Shall it be until such time as they fight about our well-built gates? Low lieth a man whom we honoured even as goodly Hector, Aeneas, son of great-hearted Anchises. Nay, come, let us save from out the din of conflict our noble comrade.
υἱεῖς Πριάμοιο διοτρεφέος βασιλῆος ἐς τί ἔτι κτείνεσθαι ἐάσετε λαὸν Ἀχαιοῖς; εἰς κεν ἀμφὶ πύλῃς εὖ ποιητῇσι μάχωνται; κεῖται ἀνὴρ ὃν ἶσον ἐτίομεν Ἕκτορι δίῳ Αἰνείας υἱὸς μεγαλήτορος Ἀγχίσαο· ἀλλʼ ἄγετʼ ἐκ φλοίσβοιο σαώσομεν ἐσθλὸν ἑταῖρον.
