"However, I am bound to say that 'inexcusable dishonesty' is a strong expression. I should suggest 'pliable conscience, always keeping in view the motive of ... Yes, Pelides dear, but I have at present nothing for you in the form of cake or sugar. Explain yourself somehow, to the best of your ability." For Achilles had suddenly placed an outstretched paw, impressively, on the speaker's knee.
It will readily be seen that such a character, essentially intellectual, always moving within due measure, never breaking out into eccentricity or excess, would appeal less to the popular imagination than the fiery nature of Pelides, "strenuous, passionate, implacable, and fierce." And on this ground we may partly explain the unamiable light in which Odysseus appears in later Greek literature.
Privately I fancied that the mottled and spasmodic legs of Achille whom she carried in her arms or at least so much of the infant Pelides' legs as were not enveloped in a napkin, gave every promise of refuting her generalisation. One of my amusements was to set brick traps for small birds.
He has forgotten the savor of Sciote and Chian wine; but were it only for the sake of the carouses they have had together Odysseus will not grudge him another draught out of the black trench. It is so long since be tasted blood! Guy was no more like his former self than the shadow was like the substance of Pelides.
Probably Achilles knows that his master, who speaks, is only being civil. "No because I'm holding him. I want him here. He's a darling!" So says Gwen; and then continues: "Oh yes, I know why he's Ply short for Pelides. I think he thinks I think it was his fault, and wants forgiveness." "Possibly.
But I accept thy free gift with joy, and rejoice that thou dost remember our old friendship." Then Pelides brought forward the prizes for the rough, fierce boxing-match: a six-year-old unbroken mule for the winner; and a two-handled goblet for the loser.
Let us set ourselves a standard so high that it will be a glory to live up to it, and then let us live up to it, and add a new laurel to the crown of Pseudopolis. May the Gods of Old keep you and guide you!" Then said Thersites, in his beard: "Certainly Pelides has learned from history with what weapon a strong man discomfits the Philistines."
I have neither father nor mother; for Eëtion, my royal sire, was slain by great Achilles. And all my seven brothers went down to Hades on the selfsame day! they too were slain by swift-footed Pelides. But my mother was smitten in her father's halls, by the gentle arrows of the archer Artemis. Lo! now, thou art all in all to me, father, mother, brother, and dearly loved husband!
The stern Pelides' rage, O Goddess, sing, wrath Of all the woes of Greece too fatal spring, Grecian That screwed with warriors dead the Phrygian plain, heroes And peopled the dark with heroes slain: filled the shady hell with chiefs untimely
