Love
Book V, 138
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Love
Athenion sang “The Horse,” an evil horse for me. All Troy was in flames and I burning with it. I had braved the ten years’ effort of the Greeks, but in that one blaze the Trojans and I perished.
