Homer’s Iliad
swiftly as Zephyrus who they say is fleetest of all winds;
nevertheless it is your doom to fall by the hand of a man and of a
god.”
When he had thus said the Erinyes stayed his speech, and Achilles
answered him in great sadness, saying, “Why, O Xanthus, do you
thus foretell my death? You need not do so, for I well know that I
am to fall here, far from my dear father and mother; none the more,
however, shall I stay my hand till I have given the Trojans their fill
of fighting.”
So saying, with a loud cry he drove his horses to the front.
