Religion
Book VI, 125
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
Now I rest here far from the battle, I who often saved my lord’s fair breast by my back. Though receiving far-flying arrows and dreadful stones in thousands and long lances, I aver I never quitted Cleitus’ long arm in the horrid din of battle.
