The Odyssey 3.492–497
So they came to the wheat-bearing plain, and thereafter pressed on toward their journey's end, so well did their swift horses bear them on. And the sun set and all the ways grew dark.
ἵππους τε ζεύγνυντʼ ἀνά θʼ ἅρματα ποικίλʼ ἔβαινον·
ἐκ δʼ ἔλασαν προθύροιο καὶ αἰθούσης ἐριδούπου·
μάστιξεν δʼ ἐλάαν, τὼ δʼ οὐκ ἀέκοντε πετέσθην.
ἷξον δʼ ἐς πεδίον πυρηφόρον, ἔνθα δʼ ἔπειτα
ἦνον ὁδόν· τοῖον γὰρ ὑπέκφερον ὠκέες ἵπποι.
δύσετό τʼ ἠέλιος σκιόωντό τε πᾶσαι ἀγυιαί.
