ILIAD NOUN
ild.23 | As he spoke there stood up a champion both brave and great stature, a skilful boxer, Epeus, son of Panopeus. |
ild.23 | Presently Epeus came on and gave Euryalus a blow on the jaw as he was looking round; Euryalus could not keep his legs; they gave way under him in a moment and he sprang up with a bound, as a fish leaps into the air near some shore that is all bestrewn with sea wrack, when Boreas furs the top of the waves, and then falls back into deep water. |
ild.23 | But noble Epeus caught hold of him and raised him up; his comrades also came round him and led him from the ring, unsteady in his gait, his head hanging on one side, and spitting great clots of gore. |
ild.23 | Then uprose the two mighty men Polypoetes and Leonteus, with Ajax son of Telamon and noble Epeus. |
ild.23 | They stood up one after the other and Epeus took the quoit, whirled it, and flung it from him, which set all the Achaeans laughing. |
Arise Greece! from thy silent sleep, 2000 years long it is! Forget not, thy ancient culture, beautiful and marvelous it is!
