Vetting Status: high
Translation:
"That someday a longing for Achilles shall come to the sons of the Achaeans."[1]
Camillus, the general of the Romans, prayed an Achillean prayer, that in time the Romans would yearn for Camillus. It happened not too much later; for when the Celts took their city, the people fled to Camillus and again elected him dictator, as it is recorded in the Celtic Matters.[2]
