You never forget my friendship, never miss a chance
to pay me the honor I deserve among our comrades.
For all that you have done for me Achilles,
may the immortals fill your cup with joy!
– Homer
The Iliad, Book 23, lines 723-726. Nestor blesses Achilles and pays tribute to his friendship, when Achilles honors the old warrior and presents him with a two-handled urn at the sports games.
