Priam: I've fought many wars in my time. Some I've fought for land, some for power, some for glory. I suppose fighting for love makes more sense than all the rest.

Hector: All of my life I have lived by a code and the code is simple: honor the gods, love your woman and defend your country. Troy is mother to us all. Fight for her!

Hector: Tell me little brother, have you ever killed a man?
Paris: No
Hector: Ever seen a man die in combat?
Paris: No
Hector: I've killed men and I've heard them dying and I've watched them dying and there's nothing glorious about it.

Achilles: It changes nothing, you're still my enemy come morning.
Priam: You're still my enemy tonight, but even enemies can show respect.

Achilles: Perhaps your brother can comfort them. I hear he's good at charming other men's wives.

Helen: You should not have come here tonight.
Paris: That's what you said last night?
Helen: Last night was a mistake.
Paris: And the night before?
Helen: I have made many mistakes this week.

Achilles: [to his men] Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!

Achilles: Imagine a king who fights his own battles. Wouldn't that be a sight?

Achilles: You won't have eyes tonight, you won't have ears or a tongue. You will wander the underworld blind, deaf, and dumb, and all the dead will know, "This is Hector, the fool who thought he killed Achilles."

Briseis: I thought you were a dumb brute. I could have forgiven a dumb brute.

Menelaus: May the Gods keep the wolves in the hills and the women in our beds.

Messenger Boy: The Thessalonian you're fighting, he's the biggest man I've ever seen. I wouldn't want to fight him.
Achilles: That is why no one will remember your name.

Ajax: [to his shipmates, as they approach the Trojan beach] Row you whores! Greeks are dying!
