This is my speech to Aeneas (godess-born), telling him to flee the city because the Greeks are taking it. This is curtesy of http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/lit/poetry/Aeneid/chap6.html.

“‘O goddess-born! escape, by timely flight,
The flames and horrors of this fatal night.
The foes already have possess’d the wall;
Troy nods from high, and totters to her fall.
Enough is paid to Priam’s royal name,
More than enough to duty and to fame.
If by a mortal hand my father’s throne
Could be defended, ‘t was by mine alone.
Now Troy to thee commends her future state,
And gives her gods companions of thy fate:
From their assistance walls expect,
Which, wand’ring long, at last thou shalt erect.”

This is a great description of me in the Aeneid, from the scene during book 2 when I go to tell Aeneas that the Greeks are coming. It is curtesy of http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/lit/poetry/Aeneid/chap6.html.

“Swoln were his feet, as when the thongs were thrust
Thro’ the bor’d holes; his body black with dust;
Unlike that Hector who return’d from toils
Of war, triumphant, in Aeacian spoils,
Or him who made the fainting Greeks retire,
And launch’d against their navy Phrygian fire.
His hair and beard stood stiffen’d with his gore;
And all the wounds he for his country bore”

Today was not a very good day for me to say the least. You see, I am writing from a computer in the Elysium Fields, and you know what that means… Yesterday I awoke to a servant telling me that was presense was requested at the city gaits, and that should I accept the challenge of the person at the gaits, that I should strap on my armour and bring my sword. Not one to ever turn down a challenge, I put on my armor, grabbed my shortsword, and walked to the city gaits. I walked out of the gaits to see Achilles standing a hunred yards away, calling me to battle, one on one. Feeling a surge of anger and excitement, I sprinted the hundred yards to meet him immediatly in battle. For 15 minutes we were engaged in a raging battle, neither man showing weakness. But after about 20 minutes, Achilles raised him arm, exposing the flesh under his armor. I struck, immediatly killing him. I was so excited and proud that I stripped him of his armor and strapped it onto my body, flaunting it to the thousands upon thousands of Trojans and Greeks who had been watching. But when I bent down and took off Achilles helmet as a sign of respect, I saw in horror that I had not killed Achilles but rather his lover Patrocolus. I stumbled backwards, stunned at the horror of what had just happened. How could I have known? He had long, blond hair and defined muscles just like the great Achilles. He wore the divine armor of Achilles. He even moved and faught like Achilles! I thought I had been fighting the glorious Achilles, but I had only been fighting Patrocolus. This is not to say that Patrocolus is a weak fighter, which he is not. It is only to say that I believed I had defeated the greatest fighter the world had ever known in one on one combat, only to realize that it was not him. All sense of pride was soon replaced by a deep fear in the pit of my stomach when I realized that Achilles would do anything and everything to avenge the death of his lover. I walked back to the palace with the armor on, feeling a peculiar sense of defeat, rather than victory. I hope Achilles isn’t too mad…
