Achilles accuses Atrides of being a base king, who rules capriciously over a people now made slavish, having forgotten their past freedoms.

Scourge of they people, violent and base!

Sent in Jove's anger on a slavish race;

Who, lost to sense of generous freedom past,

Are tamed to wrongs; -- or this had been thy last.

Book I, Page 9, The Iliad
