The Iliad 10.533–539
The sound of swift-footed horses strikes upon mine ears. I would that Odysseus and the valiant Diomedes may even thus speedily have driven forth from among the Trojans single-hooved horses; but wondrously do I fear at heart lest those bravest of the Argives have suffered some ill through the battle din of the Trojans.
ὦ φίλοι Ἀργείων ἡγήτορες ἠδὲ μέδοντες
ψεύσομαι, ἦ ἔτυμον ἐρέω; κέλεται δέ με θυμός.
ἵππων μʼ ὠκυπόδων ἀμφὶ κτύπος οὔατα βάλλει.
αἲ γὰρ δὴ Ὀδυσεύς τε καὶ ὃ κρατερὸς Διομήδης
ὧδʼ ἄφαρ ἐκ Τρώων ἐλασαίατο μώνυχας ἵππους·
ἀλλʼ αἰνῶς δείδοικα κατὰ φρένα μή τι πάθωσιν
Ἀργείων οἳ ἄριστοι ὑπὸ Τρώων ὀρυμαγδοῦ.
