our host. Furthermore, if the ninth day hence the dawn-goddess
restore to mortals the genial light, and make the
world visible with sunshine, I will set up, first of all, for
all Teucrian comers, a match among our swift fleet; then
let him that is light of foot, and him that, glorying in his 10
strength, bears himself more proudly with the dart and the
flying arrow, or has confidence to join battle in gauntlets
of raw hide, let one and all be here, and look for the prizes
that victory earns. Give me your auspicious voices, and
bind your brows with green.” 15
