The Iliad - Homer ยท 74 words
Gloomy he said, and horrible to view Before the bier the bleeding Hector threw, Prone on the dust. The Myrmidons around Unbraced their armour, and the steeds unbound. All to Achilles sable ship repair, Frequent and full, the genial feast to share. Now from the well fed swine black smokes aspire, The bristly victims hissing oer the fire. The huge ox bellowing falls; with feebler cries Expires the goat; the sheep in silence dies.
