Lines 48-52
ἔζετ' ἔπειτ ἀπάνευθε νεῶν, μετὰ δ' ἰὸν ἕηκεν·
δεινὴ δὲ κλαγγὴ γένετ' ἀργυρέοιο βιοῖο
οὐρῆος μὲν πρῶτον ἐπῴχετο καὶ κύνας ἀργούς,
αὐτὰρ ἔπειτ' αὐτοῖσι βέλος ἐχεπευχές ἐφιεὶς
Βαλλ'· αἰεὶ δὲ πυραὶ νεκύων καίοντο θαμειαί.
He then sat away from the ships, and shot off an arrow
A terrible clang arose from the silver bow
The mules were attacked first, and the dogs swift as silver
Then sharp arrows shot against their masters over and over again.
And day and night burned the crowded pyres of the dead.
