Thus having spoken, divine Achilles led them forward, and seated them upon couches and purple coverlets; then straightway he addressed Patroclus, who was near:

"Place a larger goblet, O son of Menoetius, mix purer wine,[299] and prepare a cup for each, for men most dear [to me] are beneath my roof."

[Footnote 299: I. e. less diluted than usual. On this quaint picture of ancient manners, compared with the customs of the Hebrew fathers, compare Coleridge, p. 151.]
