ὡς εἰπὼν. προτὶ ἄστυ, μέγα φρονέων ἐβεβήκει.
σευάμενος, ὥς θ' ἵππος ἀεθλοφόρος σὺν όχεσφιν:
ὅς ῥά τε ῥεῖα θέῃσι τιταινόμενος πεδίοιο:
ὡς Ἀχιλεὺς λαιψηρὰ πόδας καὶ γούνατ' ἐνώμα:
So spake he, and was gone toward the city in pride of heart, speeding as speedeth with a chariot a horse that is winner of prizes, one that lightly courseth at full speed over the plain; even so swiftly plied Achilles his feet and knees.
