245 to 252: The end of Achilles's prayer to Zeus that Patroclos stands out in
battle and returns safely, and Zeus' decision on it.
′′ Accord him fame, Zeus tonante, / and toughen his soul so that Hector knows
/ if our squire can fight even / without me or if his arms rage irresistible
only / when I myself dive into the melee of Ares. / But rejected the clash and
the noise of ships / returned unharmed then to the concave ships / with all
the weapons and comrades in the body to body!". / He said praying, the wise
Zeus heard him, / but one thing granted him the father, another refused him: /
allowed him to fight back and fight away from the ships, / refused to return
safely from battle.

Homer: PSI XV 1499
