Note 163 — BOOK XXVII.

Charles Duke Yonge translation

See Iliad, ix. 5:—

Βορέης καὶ ζέφυρος τώτε Θρήκηθεν ἄητον Ἐλθοντ’ ἐξοπίνης.

Thus translated by Pope:—

"As from its cloudy dungeon, issuing forth A double tempest of the west and north Swells o'er the sea from Thracia's frozen shore, Heaps waves on waves, and bids th' Ægean roar."
