ὡς ἔφατ'. οὐδ' ἀπίθησεν ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν Ἀγαμέμνων:
δῶκε δὲ Μηριόνῃ δόρυ χάλκεον: αὐτὰρ ὅ γ' ἥρως
Ταλθυβίῳ κήρυκι δίδου περικαλλὲς ἄεθλον:
So spake he, and the king of men, Agamemnon, failed not to hearken. Then to Meriones he gave the spear of bronze, but the warrior handed to the herald Talthybius the beauteous prize.
