THE NINETEENTH BOOK OF HOMER’S ILIADS

THE ARGUMENT

Thetis presenting armour to her son, He calls a court, with full reflection Of all his wrath; takes of the king of men Free-offer’d gifts. All take their breakfast then; He only fasting, arms, and brings abroad The Grecian host, and (hearing the abode Of his near death by Xanthus prophesied) The horse, for his so bold presage, doth chide.

ANOTHER ARGUMENT

Ταυ̑ gives the anger period, And great Achilles comes abroad.
