Book XIV, 99: Another touching the Victory of Plataea
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. V, 1918)
The gathering of the Greeks by Thermodon and meadowy Asopus, and the clamour of barbarous tongues, in which many of the Median bowmen shall fall, beyond their lot and destiny, when the fated day arrives.
