iliad 1 motherly prize

"O parent goddess! since in early bloom

Thy son must fall, by too severe a doom;

Sure to so short a race of glory born,

Great Jove in justice should this span adorn:

Honour and fame at least the thunderer owed;

And ill he pays the promise of a god,

If yon proud monarch thus thy son defies,

Obscures my glories, and resumes my prize."

-- Achilles seems to be saying “Oh great mother, Goddess up high  truly you have afforded me a glimpse of the potential of a high marriage to a perfect mother, to bare children for a god,  However to part from such sweat divine potential tears th heart and mind, he then asks is  the pain is the road to transcendence?  Why must the Gods set such things in motion, he defies the loss of love but not the will of the Gods and divine justice ;eading to current  circumstance.   This  love only God might bare.  He is asking what test is this that pains him so to lose the prise he claims as divine and not of war.  The games of people and the understanding only of Gods who must rectify that which unjustly is being taken from them and sending them into distress is to defy these ills to create justice and do what one must to create peace and proper course.  True love and true duty by propriety makes all involve shine as they act out the must of divine and material nublehic circumstances.
