Iliad I, lines 223-228

223      Then yet again, with his brutal words, the son of Peleus
            laid into Atreus’ son, and his bile was still unabated:
            “Drunken sack of wine, with the eyes of a dog, and a deer’s heart.
            Not even once have you armed for war alongside your soldiers,
            nor have you gone on an ambush beside the Achaean chieftains.
            Courage is not in your spirit; you’ve seen your death in such ventures.
