EURIPIDES.

(Str. 3)

Bœotia's barks sea-plashing
Fifty there lay:
I marked their ensigns flashing.
Kadmus had they
Whose Golden Dragon shone
On each stern's garnison;
And Leïtus Earth's son
⁠Led their array. ⁠260
Galleys from Phocis came;
In Locrian barks, the same
By tale, went Thronium's fame
'Neath Aias' sway.

(Ant. 3)

Atreides' Titan-palace,
Mycenae, sent
Thronged decks of five-score galleys:
Adrastus[1] went
As friend with friend, to take
⁠Her, who the home-bonds brake ⁠270
For alien gallant's sake,
For chastisement.
There, ships of Pylos' king,
Gerenian Nestor, bring
The weird bull-blazoning
That Alpheus lent.

(Epode)

Gouneus, King of Ainian men,
Marshalled galleys two and ten:
Hard thereby the bulwarks tower

  1. ↑ There is nowhere else any mention of an Adrastus in this connection. Hence others read ?de?f??, "his brother," others ?t?est??, "the dauntless."
