Not whosoever was the great of yore,
Bursting to bloom with bravery all round
Is in our mouths: he was, but is no more.
And who it was that after came to be,
Met the thrice-throwing wrestler, he
Is also gone to ground.
But Zeus if any, heart and soul, that name
Shouting the triumph-praise proclaim,
Complete in judgment shall that man be found.
176
Zeus, who leads onward mortals to be wise,
Appoints that suffering masterfully teach.
In sleep, before the heart of each,
A woe-remembering travail sheds in dew
Discretion, ay, and melts the unwilling too
By what, perchance, may be a graciousness
Of gods, enforced no less,
As they, commanders of the crew,
Assume the awful seat.
184
And then the old leader of the Achaian fleet,
Disparaging no seer
With bated breath to suit misfortunes inrush here
(What time it laboured, that Achaian host,
By stay from sailing, every pulse at length
Emptied of vital strength,
Hard over Kalchis shore-bound, current-crost
In Aulis station, while the winds which post
192
From Strumon, ill-delayers, famine-fraught,
Tempters of man to sail where harbourage is naught,
Spendthrifts of ships and cables, turning time
To twice the length, these carded, by delay,
