ILIAD NOUN

ild.02 And those that held Methone and Thaumacia, with Meliboea and rugged Olizon, these were led by the skilful archer Philoctetes, and they had Seven ships, each with Fifty oarsmen all of them good archers; but Philoctetes was lying in great pain in the Island of Lemnos, where the sons of the Achaeans left him, for he had been bitten by a poisonous water snake.
ild.04 We boast ourselves as even better men than our fathers; we took Seven gated Thebes, though the wall was stronger and our men were fewer in number, for we trusted in the omens of the Gods and in the help of Jove, whereas they perished through their own sheer folly; hold not, then, our fathers in like honour with us.
ild.06 I had Seven brothers in my father s house, but on the same day they all went within the house of Hades.
ild.07 Ajax came up bearing his shield in front of him like a wall a shield of Bronze with Seven folds of oxhide the work of Tychius, who lived in Hyle and was by far the best worker in leather.
ild.07 He had made it with the hides of Seven full fed Bulls, and over these he had set an eighth layer of Bronze.
ild.09 There were Seven captains of the sentinels, and with each there went a hundred youths armed with long spears: they took their places midway between the trench and the wall, and when they had done so they lit their fires and got every man his supper.
ild.09 I will give him Seven tripods that have never yet been on the fire, and Ten talents of Gold.
ild.09 I will give him Seven excellent workWomen, Lesbians, whom I chose for myself when he took Lesbos all of surpassing beauty.
ild.09 I have three daughters, Chrysothemis, Laodice, and lphianassa, let him take the one of his choice, freely and without gifts of wooing, to the house of Peleus; I will add such dower to boot as no man ever yet gave his daughter, and will give him Seven well established cities, Cardamyle, Enope, and Hire, where there is grass; holy Pherae and the rich meadows of Anthea; Aepea also, and the vine clad slopes of Pedasus, all near the sea, and on the borders of sandy Pylos.
ild.09 He will give you Seven tripods that have never yet been on the fire, and Ten talents of Gold; Twenty Iron cauldrons, and Twelve strong Horses that have won races and carried off prizes.
ild.09 Moreover he will give you Seven excellent workWomen, Lesbians, whom he chose for himself, when you took Lesbos all of surpassing beauty.
ild.09 Agamemnon has three daughters, Chrysothemis, Laodice, and Iphianassa; you may take the one of your choice, freely and without gifts of wooing, to the house of Peleus; he will add such dower to boot as no man ever yet gave his daughter, and will give you Seven well established cities, Cardamyle, Enope, and Hire where there is grass; holy Pheras and the rich meadows of Anthea; Aepea also, and the vine clad slopes of Pedasus, all near the sea, and on the borders of sandy Pylos.
ild.09 He is implacable and yet if a man s brother or son has been slain he will accept a fine by way of amends from him that killed him, and the wrong doer having paid in full remains in peace among his own people; but as for you, Achilles, the Gods have put a wicked unforgiving spirit in your heart, and this, all about one single girl, whereas we now offer you the Seven best we have, and much else into the bargain.
ild.15 Therefore he left the raised deck at the stern, and stepped back on to the Seven foot bench of the oarsmen.
ild.19 The word was not sooner said than the deed was done: they brought out the Seven tripods which Agamemnon had promised, with the Twenty metal cauldrons and the Twelve Horses; they also brought the Women skilled in useful arts, Seven in number, with Briseis, which made eight.

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