lagos is a Greek word for 'rabbit', but I don't think that was what you were after. You may be thinking of 'logos', which means 'word; story; reason, logic', and is used in the beginning of John's gospel of Christ ('in the beginning was the logos, etc.') The quotation is from the Iliad book 24, where the aged king Priam comes to beg for the return of the body of his son, Hector, from Achilles, who had killed him on the battle field. "Tall Priam came in unseen seen by them and stood close to Achilles. He knealt, grasping the knees of Achilles with his arms, and kissed his hands--those terrible, man-killing hands, hands which had killed so many of his sons."
