Note 150 — BOOK XXIV.
Charles Duke Yonge translation
See Il. iv. 297:—
Ἰππῆας μὲν πρῶπα σὺν ἵπποισιν καὶ ὄχέσφιν πεζοὺς δ’ εξόπιθεν στῆσεν πολέας τε καὶ ἐσθλούς ἔρκος ἔμεν πολέμοιο, κακοὺς δ’ εἰς μέσσον ἔλασσεν.
Thus translated by Pope:—
"The horse and chariots to the front assigned, The foot (the strength of war) he placed behind; The middle space suspected troops supply, Enclosed by both, nor left the power to fly."
