“You betray him by warning me.' It is true. Achilles has given Agamemnon a sword to fall upon, and I have stayed his hand. The words are thick and bitter. 'I do.' 'Why?' he asks. 'Because he is wrong,' I say. My throat feels raw and broken, as though I have drunk sand and salt.” — Madeline Miller
You betray him by warning me.'
It is true. Achilles has given Agamemnon a sword to fall upon, and I have stayed his hand. The words are thick and bitter. 'I do.'
'Why?' he asks.
'Because he is wrong,' I say. My throat feels raw and broken, as though I have drunk sand and salt.
