The Iliad - Homer ยท 71 words
Each Ajax, Teucer, Merion gave command, The valiant leader of the Cretan band; And Mars like Meges. these the chiefs excite, Approach the foe, and meet the coming fight. Behind, unnumberd multitudes attend, To flank the navy, and the shores defend. Full on the front the pressing Trojans bear, And Hector first came towering to the war. Phbus himself the rushing battle led; A veil of clouds involved his radiant head.
