Take thou thy arms and come with me, For we must quit ourselves like men, and strive To air our cause, although we be but two. Great is the strength of feeble arms combined, And we can combat even with the brave.

Homer
It was built against the will of the immortal gods, and so it did not last for long.
Homer
Proud is the spirit of Zeus-fostered kings - their honor comes from Zeus, and Zeus, god of council, loves them.

Now deep in ocean sunk the lamp of light, And drew behind the cloudy vale of night.

No season now for calm, familiar talk.
