In a golden urn they put the bones, shrouding the urn with veiling of soft purple. Then in a grave dug deep they placed it and heaped it with great stones. The men were quick to raise the death-mound, while in every quarter lookouts were posted to ensure against an Akhaian surprise attack. When they had finished raising the barrow, they returned to Ilion, where all sat down to banquet in his honor in the hall of Priam king. So they performed 960 the funeral rites of Hektor, tamer of horses.
Such a powerful ending.
