Hector Yes, that is fair; I cannot dispute it. Name your wage, except for my sovereignty. Dolon I do not covet your toilsome sovereignty. Hector Well then, marry a daughter of Priam and become my brother-in-law. Dolon No, I do not wish to marry among those beyond my station. Hector There's gold, if this you'll claim as your prize. Dolon I have it in my home; I lack no sustenance. Hector What then is your desire of all that Ilium stores within her? Dolon Promise me my gift when you conquer the Achaeans. Hector I will give it to you; ask anything except the captains of the fleet. Dolon Slay them; I do not ask you to keep your hand off Menelaus. Hector Is it the son of Oileus you would ask me for?
