“Sing, goddess, the anger of Peleus’ son Achilleus
and its devastation,
which puts pains thousandfold upon the Achaians,
hurled in their multitudes to
the house of Hades strong souls
of heroes, but gave their bodies to the
delicate feasting
of dogs, of all birds, and the will of Zeus was accomplished
since that time when there stood in division of conflict
Atreus’ son the lord
of men and brilliant Achilleus.”
– Homer's Iliad Book 1.1-7
