The Tale of Troy: Alpheus (First Century B.C.)

By The Greek Anthology

Translation of John William Mackail

STILL we hear the wail of Andromache, still we see all Troy toppling from her foundations, and the battling Ajax, and Hector, bound to the horses, dragged under the city’s crown of towers,—through the Muse of Mæonides, the poet with whom no one country adorns herself as her own, but the zones of both worlds.
