And from them—even as the din arises of woodcutters in the glades of a mountain, and afar is the sound thereof heard— so from them went up a clanging from the broad-wayed earth, a clanging of bronze and of hide and of well-wrought shields, as they thrust one at the other with swords and two-edged spears.
τῶν δ' ὥς τε δρυτόμων ἀνδρῶν ὀρυμαγδὸς ὀρώρει οὔρεος ἐν βήσσῃς , ἕκαθεν δέ τε γίγνετ' ἀκουή , ὣς τῶν ὄρνυτο δοῦπος ἀπὸ χθονὸς εὐρυοδείης χαλκοῦ τε ῥινοῦ τε βοῶν τ' εὐποιητάων , νυσσομένων ξίφεσίν τε καὶ ἔγχεσιν ἀμφιγύοισιν .
ὁ δέ ὡς τε δρυτόμος ἀνήρ ὀρυμαγδός ὄρνυμι ὄρος ἐν βῆσσα , ἕκαθεν δέ τε γίγνομαι ἀκουή , ὡς ὁ ὄρνυμι δοῦπος ἀπό χθών εὐρυόδεια χαλκός τε ῥινός τε βοῦς τε εὐποίητος , νύσσω ξίφος τε καί ἔγχος ἀμφίγυος .
