The Inferno, 26.55-63

Within, Ulysses and Diomed

are suffering in anger with each other,

just vengeance makes them march together now.

And they lament inside one flame the ambush

of the horse become the gateway that allowed

the Romans’ noble seed to issue forth.

Therein they mourn the trick that caused the grief

of Deïdamia, who still weeps for Achilles;

and there they pay for the Palladium.
