56 The Iliad of Homer
"Ye gods! what wonders has
Ulysses wrought!
What fruits his conduct and his
courage yield!
Great in the council, glorious in
the field.
Generous he rises in the crown's
defence,
To curb the factious tongue of
insolence,
Such just examples on offenders
shown,
Sedition silence, and assert the
throne."
'Twas thus the general voice the
hero praised,
Who, rising, high the imperial
sceptre raised:
The blue-eyed Pallas, his celestial
friend,
(In form a herald,) bade the crowds
attend.
The expecting crowds in still
attention hung,
To hear the wisdom of his heavenly
tongue.
Then deeply thoughtful, pausing ere
he spoke,
His silence thus the prudent hero
broke:
( mote thierd use of silence see
above end of each paragraph)
Hre there is parise for heroes like
ulyssess who stayed vurtious and did not fail
--see still graceans they are troy
is at bottom of Italy it was called Trya
till just lately in the middle on the
bottom on the inside healof the boot, . The
scepter is the gift of being so a good leader . diplomat and only just criticism
was offered with out fear as it was necessary tio help create and maintain a
just resolve. Wxh septer is a right an authority gained by proving yourself to
its prerequisites esp under fire or in times of trouble or times of a lot of
money owned or offered as bribes
Thus far four mentioned
Leader
Hero holy
Peasant virtues
And hero leading as ruler or general
