ILIAD NOUN

ild.01 If I have ever decked your temple with garlands, or burned your thigh bones in fat of Bulls or Goats, grant my prayer, and let your arrows avenge these my tears upon the Danaans.
ild.01 Then they offered Hecatombs of Bulls and Goats without blemish on the sea shore, and the smoke with the savour of their sacrifice rose curling up towards heaven.
ild.02 There, year by year, the Athenian youths worship him with sacrifices of Bulls and rams.
ild.07 He had made it with the hides of Seven full fed Bulls, and over these he had set an eighth layer of Bronze.
ild.21 The river with its broad Silver stream shall serve you in no stead, for all the Bulls you offered him and all the Horses that you flung living into his waters.

Arise Greece! from thy silent sleep, 2000 years long it is! Forget not, thy ancient culture, beautiful and marvelous it is!
