The Epic opening of the Iliad:
Sing, O Muse, of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus —
that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.
Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades,
and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures,
for so were the counsels of Zeus fulfilled
from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men,
and great Achilles, first fell out with one another.
The Story of when Achilles is discovered among the daughters of King Lycomedes, and brought into the War against Troy.
The Greek Opening is this:
μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος
οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί’ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε’ ἔθηκε..
