Religion
Book VI, 122
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
Maenap of Ares, sustainer of war, impetuous spear, who now hath set thee here, a gift to the goddess who awakes the battle? “Menius ; for springing lightly from his hand in the forefront of the fight I wrought havoc among the Odrysae on the plain.”
