to take compassion on the town now that it is burnt to ashes?
Athena
First go back to the former point; will you make common cause with me in the scheme I purpose?
Poseidon
Yes, surely; but I want to learn your wishes, whether you have come to help Achaeans or Phrygians.
Athena
I wish to give my former foes, the Trojans, joy, and on the Achaean army impose a bitter return.
Poseidon
Why do you leap thus from mood to mood? Your love and hate both go too far, on whomever centred.
Athena
Do you not know the insult done to me and to the shrine I love?
Poseidon
I do: when Aias dragged away Cassandra by force.
Athena
Yes, and the Achaeans did nothing, said nothing to him.
