The Greeks assemble under Agamemnon the chief.
None of them have been living on a diet of beef.

Odysseus the Wise is the King of Ithaca.
His wife, Penelope, puts the cummin spice in the vinegar.

Ajax the Great has a big long shield.
He wields a sword; death it deals.

Nestor the king is wise and bold.
He is strong, but he is old.

Diomedes is this young man.
His war cry echoes throughout the land.

***

Here are the Trojans big and small,
Some are short and some are tall.

Priam is the Trojan King,
now and then he likes to sing.

Andromache is Hector's wife.
He loves her as he would his life.

Hector is the greatest Trojan fighter,
but we all know Achilles is mightier.
