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!
