Iliad two to hairs extent

Euboea next her martial sons prepares,

And sends the brave Abantes to the wars:

Breathing revenge, in arms they take their way

From Chalcis' walls, and strong Eretria;

The Isteian fields for generous vines renown'd,

The fair Caristos, and the Styrian ground;

Where Dios from her towers o'erlooks the plain,

And high Cerinthus views the neighbouring main.

Down their broad shoulders falls a length of hair;

Their hands dismiss not the long lance in air;

 

•  Here the power of the devine is set in authoretic female stage and an analogy of power as authority wielded by representing people in accpuntable seated and elected fashion is used to portray the length of the reach of alea.

But with protended spears in fighting fields

Pierce the tough corslets and the brazen shields.

Twice twenty ships transport the warlike bands,

Which bold Elphenor, fierce in arms, commands.

We were given a new message for paragraph above so I reposted it.


I will continue this bnext week for sure.
