Then give him into the charge of swift messengers to carry him,

Additional quotes by Homer

Nay if even in the house of Hades the dead forget their dead, yet will I even there be mindful of my dear comrade.

You've injured me, Farshooter, most deadly of the gods;
And I'd punish you, if I had the power.

With many a weary step, and many a groan,
Up the high hill he heaves a huge round stone;
The huge round stone, resulting with a bound,
Thunders impetuous down, and smokes along the ground.

Then give him into the charge of swift messengers to carry him, of Sleep and Death, who are twin brothers, and these two shall lay him down presently… - Homer
