The Iliad 7.120–123
So spake the warrior and turned his brother's mind, for he counselled aright; and Menelaus obeyed. Then with gladness his squires took his armour from his shoulders; and Nestor rose up and spake amid the Argives:
Fie upon you! In good sooth is great grief come upon the land of Achaea.Verily aloud would old Peleus groan, the driver of chariots, goodly counsellor, and orator of the Myrmidons, who on a time questioned me in his own house, and rejoiced greatly as he asked of the lineage and birth of all the Argives. If he were to hear that these were now all cowering before Hectorthen would he lift up his hands to the immortals in instant prayer that his soul might depart from his limbs into the house of Hades.
ὣς εἰπὼν παρέπεισεν ἀδελφειοῦ φρένας ἥρως
αἴσιμα παρειπών, ὃ δʼ ἐπείθετο· τοῦ μὲν ἔπειτα
γηθόσυνοι θεράποντες ἀπʼ ὤμων τεύχεʼ ἕλοντο·
Νέστωρ δʼ Ἀργείοισιν ἀνίστατο καὶ μετέειπεν·
