Quote context

[...]

- Achilles died young.

- Your friends are waiting for you on the field. It's your turn to throw.

- We Greeks are the chosen, the elect. Our culture is the best, our civilization the best, our men the best.

- All others are barbarians, and it is our moral duty to conquer them, enslave them, and, if necessary, destroy them.

- Wonders are many, but none is more wonderful than man himself.

- The Persian way of life has the seed of death and fear in it, the Greek, of life and courage.

- The gods of the Greeks are made in the image of man. Not men with birds' heads and bulls with lions' heads, but men who can be understood and felt.

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

- And with blood all the axle-tree below was sprinkled, for blood drops from the horses' hooves splashed them, and blood drops from the tires of the wheels.

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