Death & Dying
Book VII, 173
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
Death & Dying
Or themselves in the evening the kine came home to byre from the hill through the heavy snow. But Therimachus, alas sleeps the long sleep under the oak. The fire of heaven laid him to rest.
