Vainly it seems the Thracian charioteer reviled us with plotting this mans murder, Hector.
952
Hector
I knew it; it needed no seer to say that he had perished by the arts of Odysseus. Now I, when I saw the Hellene army camped
in my land, of course would not hesitate to send heralds to my friends, bidding them come and help my country; and so I sent, and he as in duty bound came to share my toils. I do not at all rejoice to see him dead. And now I am ready to raise a tomb for him
and burn at his pyre great store of fine raiment; for he came as a friend and in sorrow he is going away.
