a passage from the Iliad?

[cain]

O Monster, mix'd of Insolence and Fear,
Thou Dog in Forehead, but in Heart a
Deer!
O Nik!
thou art a tool!
When wert thou known in ambush'd Fights
to dare,
Or nobly face the horrid Front of War?....
By this I swear, when bleeding Greece
again
Shall call Achilles, she shall call in vain...
Then shalt thou mourn th'Affront thy
Madness gave,
O Nik!
thou art still a tool!
Forc'd to deplore, when impotent to save:
Then rage in Bitterness of Soul, to know
This act has made the bravest Greek thy
foe.

Go away for a month. When you return, one more post attacking Nik, or any other member, will be your last on our forums for a long time. If you do not return, we will not miss you.

I so respect your intent, but we're too stupid for that here.

You bloated drunk,
With a dog's eyes and a rabbit's heart!
O Nik!
thou are a tool!
You've never had the guts to buckle on
armor in battle
Or come out with the best fighting Greeks
On any campaign!...
By this scepter I swear:
When every last Greek desperately misses
Achilles,
O Nik!
thou are still a tool!
Your remorse won't do any good then....
And you will eat your heart out
Because you failed to honor the best
Greek of all.

This is the third time you've provided an unsubstantiated personal attack against me today. I suggest you stop.

You posted Poe's translation which is really old, I posted a newer one and added your Nic comments.
