Religion
Book VI, 91
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
The shield is the offering of Promachus, the spears of Aconteus, the sword of Eumedes, and this bow is Cydon’s. Hippomedon offers the reins, Melantas the helmet, Nico the greaves, Aristomachus the pike, and Philinus the cuirass. Grant to them ail, Ares, spoiler of men, ever to win trophies from the foemen.
