The Iliad: Book VI: 462-end

1. Andromache's mother and father were killed. I have lost my father. Mother's gone as well.
2. Hector says he die in shame to Troy. But I would die of shame to face the men of Troy and the Trojan women trailing their long robes if I would shrink from battle now, a coward.
3. Hector wants Andromache to be free from Argive rule. That is nothing , nothing beside your agony when some brazen Argive hales you off in tears, wrenching away your day of light and freedom! Then far off in the land of Argos you must live, laboringing a a loom, at another woman's beck and call.
4. Hector's boy was scared of his helment. In the same breath, shining Hector reached down for his son--but the boy recoiled, criniging against his nurse's full breast, screaming out at the sight of his own father, terrified by the flashing bronze, the horsehair crest, the great ridge of the helmet nodding, bristling terror so it struck his eyes.
5. Paris and Hector seem like they are on the same side now, and they are fired up to defeat the Argives. We'll set all this to rights, someday, if Zeus will ever let us raise the winebowl of freedom high in our halls, hight to the gods of cloud and sky who live forever--once we drive these Argives geared for battle out of Troy!
