"You were dear to the gods,
so even in death your name will never die…
Great glory is yours, Achilles,
for all time, in the eyes of all mankind."

– Homer

The Odyssey, Book 24, lines 99-102. In the underworld the ghost of Agamemnon tells the ghost of Achilles how after he died the people interred his ashes in a great tomb with the help of the goddess Thetis, his mother. Achilles was much loved by the gods and his name would live forever, Agamemnon tells him.
