And Hektor knew the truth inside his heart, and spoke aloud:

“No use. Here at last the gods have summoned
me deathward.

I thought Deiphobos the hero was here close
beside me,

but he is behind the wall and it was Athene
cheating me,

and now evil death is close to me, and no longer
far away,

and there is no way out.”

–The Iliad of Homer,
Richard Lattimore
