the whole city of Troy mourns you now, my Hector –
you’ve brought your parents accursed tears and grief
but to me most of all you’ve left the horror, the heartbreak!
For you never died in bed and stretched your arms to me
or said some last word from the heart I can remember,
always, weeping for you through all my nights and days!
– Homer
The Iliad, Book 24, lines 872-877. Although Andromache is angry that her husband Hector died in battle, this passage shows us the great love that she had for him. She laments that he did not did in bed stretching out his arms to her and saying memorable last words.
