All the time I was quarrelling with
Andromache I kept trying to find Trojan women who would tussle with me.
But by tradition Trojan women do not fight, so it proved impossible to
find an opponent! Then one day Andromache and I got into a furious row over something and I dared her to fight me about it. She was in such a temper that she accepted. I had a fight at last! We agreed to tussle naked at dawn the next morning in private in the Great Hall. |
