Quote
Sprachs, und entsandte den speer; ihn richtete Pallas AtheneGrad am aug in die nas; und die schimmernden zähne durchdrang sie;Auch die zung and der wurzel entschnitt das gewaltie erz ihm,Daß die stürmende Spitze am unteren Kinne hinausfuhr. (Ilias; fünfter Gesang V. 290-293)

Quote
Now they made all secure in the fast black ship,and, setting out the wine bowls all a-brim,they made libation to the gods, the undying, the ever-new,most of all to the grey-eyed daughter of Zeus.And the prow sheared through the night into the dawn.(Translation by Robert Fitzgerald 1961)

Quote
I respect and reverence you, dear father-in-law, I wish I had chosen death rather than following your son, leaving behind my bridal chamber, my beloved daughter, my dear childhood friends and my kin. But I did not, and I pine away in sorrow.

Quote
Alles wird man ja satt, des schlafes sogar, und der liebe,Auch des süßen gesangs, und bewunderten reigentanzes:Welche doch mehr anreizen die sehnsuchtsvolle begierde,Als der krieg; doch die Troer sind niemals satt des gefechts! (Ilias; 13. Gesang V. 636-640)
