Iliad 1.1 - 7

The rage, sing goddess, of Peliadan Achilleus,
Wrathful, that set thousands of Achaians into pain,
Hurled to Hades many brave souls
Of heroes, and made them prey for dogs
And all fierce birds, while the will of God was done
When first they stood apart in strife:
Atreides, king of men, and god-like Achilleus.
