And, proffering noble gifts, entreaty made To all, but most the two Atridas prayed : — " Atridse twain, and well-mailed Grecians all. To you, by Heaven's decree, may it befall To raze the towers of Troy, and o'er the main Returning, greet your native land again. 54 Exordium of the Iliad, But for this ransom yield my child to me, Revering the far-darting Deity.
