The Iliad 13.260–265
Spears, if thou wilt, thou shalt find, be it one or twenty, standing in the hut against the bright entrance wall, spears of the Trojans whereof it is my wont to despoil their slain. For I am not minded to fight with the foemen while standing afar off; wherefore I have spears and bossed shields,and helms, and corselets gleaming bright. and helms, and corselets gleaming bright.
δούρατα δʼ αἴ κʼ ἐθέλῃσθα καὶ ἓν καὶ εἴκοσι δήεις ἑσταότʼ ἐν κλισίῃ πρὸς ἐνώπια παμφανόωντα Τρώϊα, τὰ κταμένων ἀποαίνυμαι· οὐ γὰρ ὀΐω ἀνδρῶν δυσμενέων ἑκὰς ἱστάμενος πολεμίζειν. τώ μοι δούρατά τʼ ἔστι καὶ ἀσπίδες ὀμφαλόεσσαι καὶ κόρυθες καὶ θώρηκες λαμπρὸν γανόωντες.
