When they were marrying Thetis to Peleus Apollo stood at the splendid table of marriage, and blessed the newlyweds and him who would grow from their union. He said: Sickness would never touch him and he will have a long life.- As he said this, Thetis was overjoyed, because the words of Apollo, that he knew from prophecies, they seemed to her, a guarantee for her child. And when Achilles was growing up, and was Thessaly's praise his beauty, Thetis the god's words remembered. But one day the elder's came with news, And said the killing of Achilles in Troy. Thetis tore at her purple clothes, and removed from her and threw upon the ground her rings and bracelets. And in her throes the past she remembered; and asked: what was wise Apollo doing? where was the poet at? who at the tables speaks excellently, where was he at when they were killing her son in his early youth. And the elders answered her: Apollo himself came to Troy, and with the Trojans, killed Achilles.

When they were marrying Thetis to Peleus
Apollo stood at the splendid table
of marriage, and blessed the newlyweds
and him who would grow from their union.
He said: Sickness would never touch him
and he will have a long life.- As he said this,
Thetis was overjoyed, because the words
of Apollo, that he knew from prophecies,
they seemed to her, a guarantee for her child.
And when Achilles was growing up,
and was Thessaly's praise his beauty,
Thetis the god's words remembered.
But one day the elder's came with news,
And said the killing of Achilles in Troy.
Thetis tore at her purple clothes,
and removed from her and threw
upon the ground her rings and bracelets.
And in her throes the past she remembered;
and asked: what was wise Apollo doing?
where was the poet at? who at the tables
speaks excellently, where was he at
when they were killing her son in his early youth.
And the elders answered her:
Apollo himself came to Troy,
and with the Trojans, killed Achilles.
