Description

τὸν δὲ μετ᾽ Ὠρίωνα πελώριον εἰσενόησα

θῆρας ὁμοῦ εἰλεῦντα κατ᾽ ἀσφοδελὸν λειμῶνα,

τοὺς αὐτὸς κατέπεφνεν ἐν οἰοπόλοισιν ὄρεσσι

χερσὶν ἔχων ῥόπαλον παγχάλκεον, αἰὲν ἀαγές. (Οδ. λ 572-575)

(and after him I saw Orion, huge,

dragging with him wild beasts over the field of asphodel,

that he had killed all by himself on the lonely hills,

and in his hands he held a club of pure bronze, ever unbroken (Odyssey, Book 11, 572-575)
