The Iliad 3.192–198
His battle-gear lieth upon the bounteous earth, but himself he rangeth like the bell-wether of a herd through the ranks of warriors. Like a ram he seemeth to me, a ram of thick fleece, that paceth through a great flock of white ewes.
εἴπʼ ἄγε μοι καὶ τόνδε φίλον τέκος ὅς τις ὅδʼ ἐστί· μείων μὲν κεφαλῇ Ἀγαμέμνονος Ἀτρεΐδαο, εὐρύτερος δʼ ὤμοισιν ἰδὲ στέρνοισιν ἰδέσθαι. τεύχεα μέν οἱ κεῖται ἐπὶ χθονὶ πουλυβοτείρῃ, αὐτὸς δὲ κτίλος ὣς ἐπιπωλεῖται στίχας ἀνδρῶν· ἀρνειῷ μιν ἔγωγε ἐΐσκω πηγεσιμάλλῳ, ὅς τʼ οἰῶν μέγα πῶϋ διέρχεται ἀργεννάων.
