The Iliad 8.28–30

But at length there spake among them the goddess, flashing-eyed Athene: Father of us all, thou son of Cronos, high above all lords, well know we of ourselves that thy might is unyielding, yet even so have we pity for the Danaan spearmen who now shall perish and fulfill an evil fate.Yet verily will we refrain us from battle, even as thou dost bid; howbeit counsel will we offer to the Argives which shall be for their profit, that they perish not all by reason of thy wrath. Then with a smile spake to her Zeus the cloud-gatherer: Be of good cheer, Tritogeneia, dear child. In no wisedo I speak with full purpose of heart, but am minded to be kindly to thee.
