ILIAD NOUN
ild.16 | Menesthius of the gleaming corslet, son to the river Spercheius that streams from heaven, was captain of the first company. |
ild.16 | Fair Polydora daughter of Peleus bore him to ever flowing Spercheius a Woman mated with a God but he was called son of Borus son of Perieres, with whom his mother was living as his wedded wife, and who gave great wealth to gain her. |
ild.23 | He went a space away from the pyre, and cut off the yellow lock which he had let grow for the river Spercheius. |
ild.23 | He looked all sorrowfully out upon the dark sea, and said, Spercheius", in vain did my father Peleus vow to you that when I returned home to my loved native land I should cut off this lock and offer you a holy Hecatomb; Fifty she Goats was I to sacrifice to you there at your springs, where is your grove and your altar fragrant with burnt offerings. |
Arise Greece! from thy silent sleep, 2000 years long it is! Forget not, thy ancient culture, beautiful and marvelous it is!
