Identify the person speaking in the stanza and to whom the person is talking to.
1. "Hector, my dear son, don't stand out there alone,
facing that man with no one else to help you,
or you will quickly meet your death, slaughtered
by Peleus' son, who's much more powerful. “
_____________ to _____________
2. "Glorious Achilles, beloved of Zeus, now I hope the two of us will take great glory to Achaean ships, by killing Hector, for all his love of war.
Now he can't escape us any longer, even though Apollo, the far shooter, suffers every torment, as he grovels before father Zeus, who bears the aegis.
Stay still now. Catch your breath. I'll go to Hector and convince him to turn and stand against you."
_____________ to _____________
3. "I'll no longer try to run away from you, son of Peleus, as I did before, going
three times in flight around Priam's great city.
I lacked the courage then to fight with you,
as you attacked. But my heart prompts me now
to stand against you face to face once more,
whether I kill you, or you kill me.
_____________ to _____________
4. "Hector,I suppose you thought you could safely strip
Patroclus, without giving me a thought,
since I was far away. That was foolish!
By our hollow ships he'd left me behind, a much greater man, to take out my revenge.
I've drained strength from your limbs—now dogs and birds
will tear you into miserable pieces,
while Achaeans are burying Patroclus."
