Who carved the dread device upon its face,
Typhon, forth-belching, from fire-breathing mouth,
Black smoke, the volumed sister of the flame;[n29]
And round its hollow belly was embossed[n30]
A ring of knotted snakes. Himself did rage,
Shouting for battle, by the god of war
Indwelt,[n31] and, like a Maenad, his dark eyes
Look fear. Against this man be doubly armed,
For, where he is, grim Fear is with him.
Eteocles.
