The Iliad - Homer ยท 74 words
The troops Methon or Thaumacia yields, Olizons rocks, or Melibas fields, With Philoctetes saild whose matchless art From the tough bow directs the featherd dart. Seven were his ships; each vessel fifty row, Skilld in his science of the dart and bow. But he lay raging on the Lemnian ground, A poisonous hydra gave the burning wound; There groand the chief in agonizing pain, Whom Greece at length shall wish, nor wish in vain.
