Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Homer and the Iliad, Vol. 3 Thus to the galleys of the Greeks Jove helped the foe; but then The tug and toil of weary war to Hector and his men The Thunderer left, and from the fight his radiant eyne withdrew, And the horse-rearing Thracians´ land with far-sent glance he knew, And the close-fighting Mysians, and the Hippomolgian crew, On mare´s milk fed, and the Abian race, of all the tribes of men Justest; on these he looked, but far from Troy withheld his ken; For none of the Immortals (thus he deemed) to mortal man, Trojan or Greek, would succour bring, spurning the Thunderers ban. But not the strong earth-shaking god like a blind watchman stood; He with far-sweeping look surveyed the battle and the blood, High seated on the topmost peak of woody Samothrace; Thence lofty Ida filled his view, and all the famous place, Where rose the Greek masts, and the towers of Priam´s lordly race; There stood Poseidon, and beheld the sore-pressed Grecian clan, With pitiful ruth; his heart abhorred the Thunderer´s partial plan.
