Broken and bowed, outcast from all sweetness, the enemy of mankind made for his death-den. But now his mother had sallied forth on a savage journey, grief-racked and ravenous, desperate for revenge.
—An excerpt from Beowulf, making this trope Older Than Print.
"I have no place to come back... My only wish is to relieve my comrade Borankio of his regrets... To avenge the person I loved ! Let's fight fair and square now!"
— Rinanore of the Ice and Fire, Mitsumete Knight
"I have to kill you, you, the enemy of my father. ...But why ? Why did you have to be an enemy ? [...] I am... I am one of the Eight Generals... Blood must be paid with blood... So come on... Draw your sword..."
"This isn't...Scorpio...Avenge me!"
Rest now, little brother. While I settle your one last score.
— Deckard Shaw, Furious 7

[Zeus nods, conceding the point]
