and he at the first recking nothing of them goes his way, but when one of the youths swift in battle has struck him with a spear-cast, then he gathers himself open-mouthed, and foam comes forth about his teeth, and in his heart his valiant spirit groans, and with his tail he lashes his ribs and his flanks on this side and on that, and rouses himself to fight, and with glaring eyes he rushes straight on in his fury, whether he kill some man or himself be slain in the foremost throng;
ὃ δὲ πρῶτον μὲν ἀτίζων ἔρχεται , ἀλλ' ὅτε κέν τις ἀρηϊθόων αἰζηῶν δουρὶ βάλῃ ἐάλη τε χανών , περί τ' ἀφρὸς ὀδόντας γίγνεται , ἐν δέ τέ οἱ κραδίῃ στένει ἄλκιμον ἦτορ , οὐρῇ δὲ πλευράς τε καὶ ἰσχία ἀμφοτέρωθεν μαστίεται , ἑὲ δ' αὐτὸν ἐποτρύνει μαχέσασθαι , γλαυκιόων δ' ἰθὺς φέρεται μένει , ἤν τινα πέφνῃ ἀνδρῶν , ἢ αὐτὸς φθίεται πρώτῳ ἐν ὁμίλῳ ·
ὁ δέ πρῶτος μέν ἀτίζω ἔρχομαι , ἀλλά ὅτε ἄν τις ἀρηίθοος αἰζηός δόρυ βάλλω εἴλω τε χάσκω , περί τε ἀφρός ὀδούς γίγνομαι , ἐν δέ τε ἕ καρδία στένω ἄλκιμος ἦτορ , οὐρά δέ πλευρά τε καί ἰσχίον ἀμφοτέρωθεν μαστίω , ἕ δέ αὐτός ἐποτρύνω μάχομαι , γλαυκιάω δέ ἰθύς φέρω μένος , ἐάν τις θείνω ἀνήρ , ἤ αὐτός φθίω πρῶτος ἐν ὅμιλος ·
