Note 70 — BOOK XIV.

Τὸν δ' εὗρον φρένα τερπόμενον φόρμιγγι λιγείῃ, καλῇ, δαιδαλέῃ, ἐπὶ δ' ἀργύρεος ζύγος ἤεν τὴν ἄρετ' ἐξ ἐνάρων πτόλιν Ἠετίωνος ὀλέσσας Τῃ ὅγε θυμὸν ἔτερπεν, ἄειδε δ' ἄρα κλέα ἀνδρῶν.

Amused at ease the godlike man they found, Pleased with the solemn harp's harmonious sound, (The well-wrought harp from conquer'd Thebæ came, Of polish'd silver was its costly frame.) With this he soothes his angry soul, and sings Th' immortal deeds of heroes and of kings.—Iliad, ix. 245.
