For know, vain man! thy valour is from God.
Haste, launch thy vessels, fly with speed away;
Rule thy own realms with arbitrary sway;
I heed thee not, but prize at equal rate
Thy short-lived friendship, and thy groundless hate.
Go, threat thy earth-born Myrmidons:—but here56
The Myrmidons dwelt on the southern borders of Thessaly, and took their origin from Myrmido, son of Jupiter and Eurymedusa. It is fancifully supposed that the name was derived from myrmaex, an ant, "because they imitated the diligence of the ants, and like them were indefatigable, continually employed in cultivating the earth; the change from ants to men is founded merely on the equivocation of their name, which resembles that of the ant: they bore a further resemblance to these little animals, in that instead of inhabiting towns or villages, at first they commonly resided in the open fields, having no other retreats but dens and the cavities of trees, until Ithacus brought them together, and settled them in more secure and comfortable habitations."—Anthon's "Lempriere."
Lets beging examining the Myrmidons, who evolved from ants, and other animate, and lived in the northern part of former greec. The story is an example of people evolving from ants and animals. By the time of the Iliad the mermedons were completely human and mixed with other people. Mermedons are also animate such as otters and in a long say, by mis identification maoumou, monkees, these are some of the origins ofsome of the people who evolved in teh area. A better way to see it is the name of these people was chosen to resemble names such as otter, ants, monkeys and so on
Here the king demands leave of the Myrmidons representative and leader. He tells him to take flight, return home and agonise his own people, rather than threatening the assembly.
This shows that the helenests did not want to cause war and also did not want to deal with matters that might cause the same, esp. if the cure for such illness was to send the person home. They did not want to exasperate the disease and attacks against anyone.
