Priam Quotes

“And overpowered by memory
Both men gave way to grief. Priam wept freely
For man - killing Hector, throbbing, crouching
Before Achilles' feet as Achilles wept himself,
Now for his father, now for Patroclus once again
And their sobbing rose and fell throughout the house.”
― Homer, The Iliad

“So the immortals spun our lives that we, we wretched men live on to bear such torments - the gods live free of sorrows.

-Achilles to Priam”
― Homer, The Iliad
