The Iliad, Book XVIII [Divine Armor]

^{translated from the ancient Greek by Emily Wilson}

Achilles groaned, heartbroken. 
He howled in agony. His goddess mother 
heard him from where she sat beside her father, 
down in the hollow depths, and keened for him. 
All of the goddesses who live within 
the deep recesses of the salty sea, 
the Nereids, came gathering around her— 
Cymodoce, Thaleia, Actaea, 
Melite, Halia with ox eyes, Speio, 
Dyname, Glauce, Limnorea, Thoe, 
Cymothoe, Nesaia, Iaera, Doris, 
Amphinome, Agave, Doto, Proto, 
Dexamene, Amphithoe, Pherousa, 
Maera, Ianeira, famous Galatea, 
Callianassa, Nemertes, Apseudes, 
Callianeira, Clymene, Ianassa, 
Panope, Oreithuia, and well-braided 
Amathea, and all the other daughters 
of Nereus within the salty depths. 
They filled the shining silver cave and all 
pounded their chests and Thetis led the mourning.
