George Chapman Quotes

Achilles' baneful wrath resound, O Goddess, that imposedInfinite sorrows on the Greeks, and many brave souls loosedFrom breasts heroic, sent them far to that invisible caveThat no light comforts, and their limbs to dogs and vultures gave;To all which Jove's will gave effect; from whom first strife begunBetwixt Atrides, king of men, and Thetis' godlike son.
