Now when Athene saw that the Greeks were perishing by the hand of / Hector and his companions, it grieved her sore. So she came down / from the heights of Olympus to help them. And Apollo met her and / said: --
"Art thou come, Athene, to help the Greeks whom thou lovest? Well, / let us stay the battle for this day; hereafter they shall fight till / the doom of Troy be accomplished."
