ILIAD NOUN
ild.02 | And those that dwelt in Lacedaemon, lying low among the hills, Pharis, Sparta, with Messe the haunt of doves; Bryseae, Augeae, Amyclae, and Helos upon the sea; Laas, moreover, and Oetylus; these were led by Menelaus of the loud battle cry, brother to Agamemnon, and of them there were Sixty ships, drawn up apart from the others. |
ild.03 | Either they have not left Lacedaemon, or else, though they have brought their ships, they will not show themselves in battle for the shame and disgrace that I have brought upon them. |
ild.03 | She knew not that both these heroes were already lying under the earth in their own land of Lacedaemon. |
ild.03 | She took the form of an old Woman who used to dress wool for her when she was still in Lacedaemon, and of whom she was very fond. |
ild.03 | Never yet was I so passionately enamoured of you as at this moment not even when I first carried you off from Lacedaemon and sailed away with you not even when I had converse with you upon the couch of love in the island of Cranae was I so enthralled by desire of you as now. |
Arise Greece! from thy silent sleep, 2000 years long it is! Forget not, thy ancient culture, beautiful and marvelous it is!
