“Mentor, son of Alcimus shall fight your foes”

Passage preview

Book 22 · Passage 24

This made Minerva still more furious, so she scolded Ulysses very angrily. {173} ‘Ulysses,’ said she, ‘your strength and prowess are no longer what they were when you fought for nine long years among the Trojans about the noble lady Helen. You killed many a man in those days, and it was through your stratagem that Priam’s city was taken. How comes it that you are so lamentably less valiant now that you are on your own ground, face to face with the suitors in your own house? Come on, my good fellow, stand by my side and see how Mentor, son of Alcimus shall fight your foes and requite your kindnesses conferred upon him.’
