- “Now though, if you wish me to fight it out and do battle, make the rest of the Trojans sit down, and all the Achaians, and set me in the middle with Menelaus the warlike to fight together for the sake of Helen and all of her possessions.  That one of us who wins and is proved stronger, let him take the possessions fairly and the woman, and lead her homeward.”—Pg. 119, Line 67
