Alcaeus Poems : To Antimenides

From the end of the world thou hast just returned,
And an ivory-hilted sword hast thou earned,
A sword which is all overlaid with gold,
A magnificent prize for thy labors bold,
Which by Babylon's men was given to thee;
For thou from their troubles thine allies didst free.
Thou slewest a royal warrior, a man
To be five ells tall lacking only a span.
