Pallas

A deadly wrong they did me, yea within
Mine holy place: thou knowest?

Poseidon

I know the sin
Of Ajax [8], when he cast Cassandra down....

Pallas

And no man rose and smote him; not a frown
Nor word from all the Greeks!

Poseidon

And 'twas thine hand
That gave them Troy!

Pallas

Therefore with thee I stand
To smite them.

[8] -- Ajax the Less, son of Oïleus, either ravished or attempted to ravish Cassandra (the story occurs in both forms) while she was clinging to the Palladium or image of Pallas. It is one of the great typical sins of the Sack of Troy, often depicted on vases.
