ILIAD NOUN

ild.02 Those that held Argissa and Gyrtone, Orthe, Elone, and the white city of Oloosson, of these brave Polypoetes was leader.
ild.02 But Polypoetes was not sole in command, for with him was Leonteus, of the race of Mars, who was son of Coronus, the son of Caeneus.
ild.06 Polypoetes then killed Astyalus, Ulysses Pidytes of Percote, and Teucer Aretaon.
ild.12 Little did they know that at the gates they should find two of the bravest chieftains, proud sons of the fighting Lapithae the one, Polypoetes, mighty son of Pirithous, and the other Leonteus, peer of murderous Mars.
ild.12 Thereon Polypoetes, mighty son of Pirithous, hit Damasus with a spear upon his cheek pierced helmet.
ild.23 Then uprose the two mighty men Polypoetes and Leonteus, with Ajax son of Telamon and noble Epeus.
ild.23 Ajax son of Telamon threw third, and sent the quoit beyond any mark that had been made yet, but when mighty Polypoetes took the quoit he hurled it as though it had been a stockman s stick which he sends flying about among his Cattle when he is driving them, so far did his throw out distance those of the others.

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