The Iliad - Homer ยท 79 words
A Dardan youth there was, well known to fame, From Panthus sprung, Euphorbus was his name; Famed for the manage of the foaming horse, Skilld in the dart, and matchless in the course. Full twenty knights he tumbled from the car, While yet he learnd his rudiments of war. His venturous spear first drew the heros gore; He struck, he wounded, but he durst no more. Nor, though disarmd, Patroclus fury stood. But swift withdrew the long protended wood.
