An etiological myth of their origins, simply expanding upon their supposed etymology — the name in Classical Greek was interpreted as "ant-people", from μυρμηδών (murmedon) "ant's nest" and that from μύρμηξ (murmex) "ant" — was first mentioned by Ovid, in Metamorphoses: in Ovid's telling, King Aeacus of Aegina, father of Peleus, pleaded with Zeus to populate his country after a terrible plague. Zeus said his people would number as the ants on his sacred oak, and from the ants sprang the people of Aegina, the Myrmidons.

I see 50,000 men brought here to fight for one man's greed.::Agamemnon: Careful boy, my mercy has limits.::Hector: And I've seen the limits of your mercy and I tell you now, no son of Troy will ever submit to a foreign ruler.::Agamemnon: Then every son of Troy shall die.

Empires are forged by war.::Menelaus: All my life I've stood by your side, fought your enemies. You're the elder, you reap the glory. This is the war of the world. But have I ever complained, brother? Have I ever asked you for anything?::Agamemnon: Never. You're a man of honour.::Menelaus: Will you go to war with me, brother?

Nestor: One more thing, we need Achilles and his Myrmidon.::Agamemnon: Achilles? He can't be controlled. He's as likely to fight us as the Trojans.::Nestor: We don't need to control him, we need to unleash him. That man was born to end lives.::Agamemnon: Yes, he's a gifted killer.
