ὣς φάτο· τὴν δ ̓ οὔ τι προσέφη νεφεληγερέτα Ζεύς,

Ἠὼς μὲν κροκόπεπλος ἀπ' Ωκεανοῖο ροάων

ἡ δ ̓ ἐς νῆας ἵκανε θεοῦ πάρα δῶρα φέρουσα.

GREEK F-PROSE COMPOSITION

9 a.m.

One hour When the horseman came to the city he said to his friend, "If the enemy should come today by land, kindle1 a great signal-fire on the hill before the town. For we know that thus only2 can the men of the near-by villages be saved. But if the foe happen to come by sea, we must seize and burn their ships before they are able to disembark3 and march against us." He said also that he himself would gladly fight with the Great King against Cyrus and his Greeks. For he had been ordered by the king to see to it that all the citizens should prepare1 and take the field at once.
