Quote context

[...]

- I'll simply try to convince the Greeks our power makes a treaty advisable.

- I'd convince them. I'd take 100 ships of war and burn the soil of Sparta black!

- I'm sure you would, Polydorus, and create endless war.

- And you, Hector, do you aspire to anything but to excel at swordplay and boxing?

- Yes, sire. The javelin and the discus.

- Hector's a good son, Priam.

- And a good husband, my lord. Is that not sufficient glory?

- By your leave, the ship of Paris is ready to sail.

- Do the gods approve the day and the hour?

- The omens are good, my king, and also the prophecies, with but one exception. One troubled priestess of the temple.

- My daughter.

- Don't be angry, Priam. Cassandra is ill.

- Sick in the mind.

- Arise, Paris, and go.

- The virgin Cassandra does make one point that causes me much concern.
