Memorable Quotes by Achilles:
“You are steeped in insolence and lust of gain.”
“You have balked me, Far-darter, most malicious of all gods, and have drawn me away from the wall, where many another man would have bitten the dust ere he got within Ilium. You have robbed me of great glory and saved Trojans at no risk to yourself, for you have nothing to fear, but would indeed have my revenge if it were in my power to do so.”

Memorable Quotes by Achilles:
“Mother tells me,The immortal goddess Thetis with her glistening feet,That two fates bear me on to the day of death.If I hold out here and I lay siege to Troy,My journey home is gone, but my glory never dies.If I voyage back to the fatherland I love,My pride, my glory dies…True, but the life that’s left me will be long,The stroke of death will not come on me quickly.”
“Tears heal nothing, dying so stiff and cold. This is the way the gods ordained the destiny of men, to bear such burdens our lives, while they feel no affliction.”
