ὡς φάθ'. ὁ δ' ἀμφ' ὤμοισιν, εέσσατο δέρμα λέοντος
αἴθωνος, μεγάλοιο, ποδηνεκὲς, εἵλετο δ' ἔγχος:
βῆ δ' ϊέναι: τοὺς δ' ἔνθεν ἀναστήσᾱς ἄγεν ἥρως:
So spake he, and Diomedes clad about his shoulders the skin of a lion, fiery and great, a skin that reached his feet, and grasped his spear, and he went his way, and roused those warriors from where they were, and brought them.
