Nor ran aground against a shore all rocky.
And then, the water-Haides having fled from
In the white day, not trusting to our fortune,
We chewed the cud in thoughts this novel sorrow
O the army labouring and badly pounded.
And now if anyone of them is breathing
They talk of us as having perished: why not?
And we that they the same fate have, imagine.
May it be for the best! Meneleos, then,
Foremost and specially to come, expect thou!
If (that is) any ray o the sun reports him
Living and seeing tooby Zeus contrivings,
Not yet disposed to quite destroy the lineage
Some hope is he shall come again to household.
Having heard such things, know, thou truth art hearing!
681
CHOROS.
Who may he have been that named thus wholly with exactitude
(Was he someone whom we see not, by forecastings of the future
Guiding tongue in happy mood?)
Her with battle for a bridegroom, on all sides contention-wooed,
Helena? Since mark the suture!
Ships-Hell, Mans-Hell, Citys-Hell,
From the delicately-pompous curtains that pavilion well,
Forth, by favour of the gale
Of earth-born Zephuros did she sail.
Many shield-bearers, leaders of the pack,
Sailed too upon their track,
Theirs who had directed oar,
Then visible no more,
To Simois leaf-luxuriant shore
For sake of strife all gore!
