“There are no bargains between lion and men. I will kill you and eat you raw.”
Source: The Song of Achilles
“Achilles makes a sound like choking. “There are no bargains between lions and men. I will kill you and eat you raw.” His spearpoint flies in a dark whirlwind, bright as the evening-star, to catch the hollow at Hector’s throat.”
