The Iliad 5.601–606
But with faces turned toward the Trojans give ye ground ever backwards, neither rage ye to fight amain with gods.
ὦ φίλοι οἷον δὴ θαυμάζομεν Ἕκτορα δῖον
αἰχμητήν τʼ ἔμεναι καὶ θαρσαλέον πολεμιστήν·
τῷ δʼ αἰεὶ πάρα εἷς γε θεῶν, ὃς λοιγὸν ἀμύνει·
καὶ νῦν οἱ πάρα κεῖνος Ἄρης βροτῷ ἀνδρὶ ἐοικώς.
ἀλλὰ πρὸς Τρῶας τετραμμένοι αἰὲν ὀπίσσω
εἴκετε, μηδὲ θεοῖς μενεαινέμεν ἶφι μάχεσθαι.
