Iliad v. 722.

Hebe rolled the wheels,

Each with eight spokes, and joined them to the ends

Of the steel axle,—fellies wrought of gold,

Bound with a brazen rim to last for ages,—

A wonder to behold. The hollow naves

Were silver, and on gold and silver cords

Was slung the chariot’s seat; in silver hooks

Rested the reins; and silver was the pole

Where the fair yoke and poitrels, all of gold,

She fastened.—Bryant.
