"Like a Lion is glad to find the carcass of a wild deer or goat/When he is hungry, and devours it greedily/Even as eager hunters and their quick dogs rush upon him,/So was Menelaus glad to see Alexander"
"Sing, goddess, of the anger, the anger of Achilles born of Peleus,/the anger all-a-damaging that brought countless pains to men,/sending many stout souls to Hades before their time/making heroes into food for dogs and vultures."
