ILIAD NOUN

ild.04 "Let no man," he said, "relying on his strength or Horsemanship, get before the others and engage singly with the Trojans, nor yet let him lag behind or you will weaken your attack; but let each when he meets an enemy s Chariot throw his spear from his own; this be much the best; this is how the men of old took towns and strongholds; in this wise were they minded.
ild.15 As a man skilled in feats of Horsemanship couples four Horses together and comes tearing full speed along the public way from the country into some large town many both men and Women marvel as they see him for he keeps all the time changing his Horse, springing from one to another without ever missing his feet while the Horses are at a gallop even so did Ajax go striding from one ship s deck to another, and his voice went up into the heavens.
ild.23 First among them all uprose Eumelus, king of men, son of Admetus, a man excellent in Horsemanship.

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