Quote context

- Thus beneath great-hearted Achilles his whole-hooved horses trampled corpses and shields together...

- But the son of Peleus pressed on to win glory, flecking with gore his irresistible hands.

(Greek swords clash)

- To place such responsibility on his shoulders, to thrust manhood on a boy!

Your tongue is thick with wine, too. Is that seemly for the king of kings?
O God of Fear, to you and against failure, I make sacrifice.
When the great god Zeus, father of Achilles, gave him his choice between a long life of obscurity and a short one filled with glory, he chose glory. So did I.
Nothing is changed but the name of the king!
(LAUGHTER)
