nor did they longer hold aloof and thus endure the flight of arrows and darts, but standing man against man in oneness of heart, they fought with sharp battle-axes and hatchets, and with great swords and two-edged spears.
οὐ δ' ἄρα τοί γε τόξων ἀϊκὰς ἀμφὶς μένον οὐ δ' ἔτ' ἀκόντων , ἀλλ' οἵ γ' ἐγγύθεν ἱστάμενοι ἕνα θυμὸν ἔχοντες ὀξέσι δὴ πελέκεσσι καὶ ἀξίνῃσι μάχοντο καὶ ξίφεσιν μεγάλοισι καὶ ἔγχεσιν ἀμφιγύοισι . [0] [1]
οὐ δέ ἄρα ὁ γε τόξον ἀική ἀμφίς μένω οὐ δέ ἔτι ἄκων , ἀλλά ὁ γε ἐγγύθεν ἵστημι εἷς θυμός ἔχω ὀξύς δή πέλεκυς καί ἀξίνη μάχομαι καί ξίφος μέγας καί ἔγχος ἀμφίγυος .
