One frequently encounters the word "friend" in Homer. All the dictionaries say that this word, which is purely social, does not mean "friend" but "comrade." The original means companion, comrade-in-arms, associate. Thus, it says that Nestor is "lining up his friends" (i.e., his army).1 Idomeneus promises Agamemnon to remain his "friend," although in meaning he is an "ally."2 In the Odyssey Antinous says: "Give me a fast ship and twelve friends,"3 where the meaning is "friends," of course, not "comrades-in arms." The term has even more nuances in the scene of selecting a companion for Diomedes: Agamemnon suggests that Diomedes select a friend for himself for the imminent attack.
