Iliad 24.522–524

ἀλλʼ ἄγε δὴ κατʼ ἄρʼ ἕζευ ἐπὶ θρόνου, ἄλγεα δʼ ἔμπης

ἐν θυμῷ κατακεῖσθαι ἐάσομεν ἀχνύμενοί περ·

οὐ γάρ τις πρῆξις πέλεται κρυεροῖο γόοιο·

Come now, sit down upon this chair. Let our sorrows

lie quiet within our hearts, though we grieve.

There is no profit in chilling lamentation.
