In ninety sail, from Pylos' sandy
coast,
Nestor the sage conducts his chosen
host:
From Amphigenia's ever-fruitful
land,
Where Æpy high, and little Pteleon
stand;
Where beauteous Arene her structures
shows,
And Thryon's walls Alpheus' streams
inclose:
And Dorion, famed for Thamyris'
disgrace,
Superior once of all the tuneful
race,
-
Next description of nesters lands describe
them possessing the strength truthful races hold
n This is a list of the peoples of Greece at the time, like
those of exodus where lists the tribes mosses will be saving.
Till, vain of mortals' empty praise,
he strove
To match the seed of cloud-compelling
Jove!
Too daring bard! whose unsuccessful
pride
The immortal Muses in their art
defied.
The avenging Muses of the light of
day
Deprived his eyes, and snatch'd his
voice away;
No more his heavenly voice was heard
to sing,
His
hand no more awaked the silver string.
n To understand these people one must understand the artist and
the inspiration to the way that is their style.
n
Where under high Cyllene, crown'd
with wood,
The shaded tomb of old Æpytus stood;
From Ripe, Stratie, Tegea's
bordering towns,
The Phenean fields, and Orchomenian
downs,
Where the fat herds in plenteous
pasture rove;
And Stymphelus with her surrounding
grove;
Parrhasia, on her snowy cliffs
reclined,
n The Egyptians are understood by the oppulance of herd and
grove.
n
And high Enispe shook by wintry
wind,
And fair Mantinea's ever-pleasing
site;
In sixty sail the Arcadian bands
unite.
Bold Agapenor, glorious at their
head,
(Ancaeus' son) the mighty squadron
led.
Their ships, supplied by Agamemnon's
care,
Through roaring seas the wondering
warriors bear;
The first to battle on the appointed
plain,
But
new to all the dangers of the main.
