Achilles in his Tent with Patroclus, Playing a Lyre, surprised by Ulysses and Nestor
By Giuseppe Cades
And so they came to the shelters and ships of the Myrmidons, and found him delighting his heart in a pure-toned lyre, exquisitely wrought, with a bridge of silver upon it, which he won from spoils when he lay waste the city of Eëtion. With this he was delighting his spirit and singing of the glorious deeds of men; Patroclus by himself was sitting opposite in silence, watchfully awaiting Aeacides, for when he would break off his singing.
The Iliad, Book 9, Lines 185-191
