Farewell, O city once prosperous! farewell, you ramparts of polished stone! if Pallas, daughter of Zeus, had not decreed your ruin, you would be standing firmly still.
48
Athena
May I address the mighty god whom the gods revere and who to my own father is very near in blood,
laying aside our former enmity?
Poseidon
You may; for over the soul the ties of kin exert no feeble spell, great queen Athena.
Athena
For your forgiving mood my thanks! I have messages to impart affecting both yourself and me, lord.
Poseidon
Do you bring fresh tidings from some god, from Zeus, or from some lesser power?
Athena
From none of these; but on behalf of Troy, whose soil we tread, I have come to seek your mighty aid, to make it one with mine.
Poseidon
What! have you laid your former hate aside
