Then, while the Trojans stripped the dead, the Greeks Fled every way, and, falling as they ran Into the trench and on the stakes, were driven Back o’er the rampart. Hector lifted up His mighty voice, and bade the Trojans leave The bloody spoil and hasten to the ships. “And whomsoever I shall find apart In any place, at distance from the ships, There will I slay him. None of all his kin, Women or men, shall build his funeral pile, But dogs shall tear his limbs in sight of Troy.”
