The Roman History of Ammianus Marcellinus

Note 165 — BOOK XXVIII.

Charles Duke Yonge translation

See the Iliad, XVIII. 1. 645, where Ajax prays:—

"Lord of earth and air, O King! O Father, hear my humble prayer! Dispel this cloud, the light of heaven restore; Give me to see, and Ajax asks no more! If Greece must perish, we thy will obey, But let us perish in the face of day."

Pope's Trans., 1. 727, etc.
