You must turn back once you bring the light of salvation
to the ships, and let the others go on fighting in the flat land.
Father Zeus, Athene and Apollo, if only
not one of all the Trojans could escape destruction, not one
of the Argives, but you and I could emerge from the slaughter
so that we two alone could break Troy’s hallowed coronal. (查看原文)
KING HENRY
Thou dost not wish more help from England, coz?

God’s will, my liege, would you and I alone,
Without more help, could fight this royal battle! (查看原文)

The other is honor, how the mortal makes their choices in the face of war/death/fate/life, regardless of the will of God. Honor had overturned one's fear and sorrow. The last piece is humanity that drives one's love and hatred, one's wellbeing and suicide. SY 8/14(展开)

死者需被埋葬，待客需有礼仪，有仇也必须报，Achilles可以无视Hector的求饶，却也可以在他死后，留十二天给他举行葬礼。凡人必死，一切皆有命运注定，没有哪一场胜利不值得庆祝，也没有哪一种死会被轻视。“And so the Trojans buried Hector breaker of horses.” 读完最后一句只有崇敬。
