“Fear not, Pelides, neither let thy heart Be troubled, since thou hast among the gods, By Jove’s consent, auxiliars such as I And Pallas. It is not thy doom to be Thus vanquished by a river. Soon its rage Will cease, as thou shalt see. Meantime we give This counsel; heed it well: let not thy hand Refrain from slaughter till the Trojan host Are all shut up⁠—all that escape thy arm⁠— Within the lofty walls of Troy. Then take The life of Hector, and return on board Thy galleys; we will make that glory thine.”
