    The great house glitters with bronze. War has patternedthe roof with shining helmets,their horsehair plumes waving in wind, headdressof fighting men. And pegsare concealed under bright greaves of brassthat block the iron-tipped arrows. Manyfresh-linen corslets are hanging and hollow shieldsare heaped about the floor,and standing in rows are swords of Chalkidian steel,belt-knives and warrior's kilts.We cannot forget our arms and armor when soonour dreadful duties begin.
