Hera to Athena · divine
The Iliad 5.714–718
verily it was for naught that we pledged our word to Menelaus, that not until he had sacked well-walled Ilios should he get him home, if we are to suffer baneful Ares thus to rage. Nay, come, let us twain likewise bethink us of furious valour.
ὢ πόποι αἰγιόχοιο Διὸς τέκος Ἀτρυτώνη,
ἦ ῥʼ ἅλιον τὸν μῦθον ὑπέστημεν Μενελάῳ
Ἴλιον ἐκπέρσαντʼ εὐτείχεον ἀπονέεσθαι,
εἰ οὕτω μαίνεσθαι ἐάσομεν οὖλον Ἄρηα.
ἀλλʼ ἄγε δὴ καὶ νῶϊ μεδώμεθα θούριδος ἀλκῆς.
