Iliad @ like Bible science and chemistry , machine and device are gidden in homer

The bold Ormenian and Asterian bands

In forty barks Eurypylus commands.

Where Titan hides his hoary head in snow,

And where Hyperia's silver fountains flow.

Thy troops, Argissa, Polypoetes leads,

And Eleon, shelter'd by Olympus' shades,

Gyrtone's warriors; and where Orthe lies,

And Oloosson's chalky cliffs arise.

Sprung from Pirithous of immortal race,

The fruit of fair Hippodame's embrace,

(That day, when hurl'd from Pelion's cloudy head,

To distant dens the shaggy Centaurs fled)

With Polypoetes join'd in equal sway

Leonteus leads, and forty ships obey.

In twenty sail the bold Perrhaebians came

From Cyphus, Guneus was their leader's name.

With these the Enians join'd, and those who freeze

Where cold Dodona lifts her holy trees;

Or where the pleasing Titaresius glides,

And into Peneus rolls his easy tides;

Yet o'er the silvery surface pure they flow,

The sacred stream unmix'd with streams below,

Sacred and awful! from the dark abodes

Styx pours them forth, the dreadful oath of gods!

Last, under Prothous the Magnesians stood,

(Prothous the swift, of old Tenthredon's blood;)

Who dwell where Pelion, crown'd with piny boughs,

Obscures the glade, and nods his shaggy brows;

Or where through flowery Tempe Peneus stray'd:

(The region stretch'd beneath his mighty shade:)

In forty sable barks they stemm'd the main;

Such were the chiefs, and such the Grecian train.

Say next, O Muse! of all Achaia breeds,

Who bravest fought, or rein'd the noblest steeds?

Eumelus' mares were foremost in the chase,

As eagles fleet, and of Pheretian race;

Bred where Pieria's fruitful fountains flow,

And train'd by him who bears the silver bow.

Fierce in the fight their nostrils breathed a flame,

Their height, their colour, and their age the same;

O'er fields of death they whirl the rapid car,

And break the ranks, and thunder through the war.

Ajax in arms the first renown acquired,

While stern Achilles in his wrath retired:

[pg 048]

(His was the strength that mortal might exceeds,

And his the unrivall'd race of heavenly steeds:)

But Thetis' son now shines in arms no more;

His troops, neglected on the sandy shore.

In empty air their sportive javelins throw,

Or whirl the disk, or bend an idle bow:

Unstain'd with blood his cover'd chariots stand;

The immortal coursers graze along the strand;

But the brave chiefs the inglorious life deplored,

And, wandering o'er the camp, required their lord.

Now, like a deluge, covering all around,

The shining armies sweep along the ground;

Swift as a flood of fire, when storms arise,

Floats the wild field, and blazes to the skies.

Earth groan'd beneath them; as when angry Jove

Hurls down the forky lightning from above,

On Arime when he the thunder throws,

And fires Typhoeus with redoubled blows,

Where Typhon, press'd beneath the burning load,

Still feels the fury of the avenging god.

But various Iris, Jove's commands to bear,

Speeds on the wings of winds through liquid air;

--  here is a recipe for holy air or liquid oil air

Iris and jove mixture

Like the bible devices and science like chemistry exists in the iliad

. 

--here immortal races bornm of past races like the titans are listed, but it is better to saw of the old titans these people were.  Ajax us nmentioned and his relation to Ulysses.
