A beautiful prayer by Achilles to Zeus. For safe return of Patroclus’s from war
Soothing. EU lost something very valuable when they accepted monotheism
It was once recited by mothers, brothers, spouses for safe return of their loved ones from journeys

Perhaps this was to Greeks the way we chant Hanumān chālisā. Or Shri Rāmarakshā
पातालभूतलव्योम चारिणः छद्मचारिण:
न द्र्ष्टुम् अपि शक्तास्ते रक्षितं रामनामभि:
The divinity still exists in this prayer by Achilles. But no devotee left who sees divinity being invoked in these lines

We are the last civilisation standing which is still predominantly non-abrahmic and non-monotheist.
All these beautiful prayers are nothing but poetry lessons.
If we aren’t vigilant, purushasukta, rudra, rāmarakshā everything will one day just become mere poetry.

Perhaps similar was the prayer for young Abhimanyu/ Ghatotkacha’s safety by Arjun, Bhīma
Or by Kunti for her 5 sons’ safety from war. Or Draupadi’s prayer when she was being disrobed. Or Arjun’s prayer to Durgā just before the war.
Only difference is our belief in durga exists.
