Then Menelaus, great in battle, said:⁠— “What wilt thou, then, and what dost thou command⁠— That I remain with them until thou come, Or, having given the message, seek thee here?”

Again the monarch Agamemnon spake:⁠— “Wait there, lest as we go I meet thee not, For many ways are through the camp. But thou, In going, shout aloud and bid them all Be vigilant, accosting everyone By his paternal name, and giving each Due honor: bear thyself not haughtily: We too must labor; for when we were born Jove laid this hard condition on us all.”
