Telemachus - Odyssey XX, 124-127

*******


.. Τηλέμαχος δ᾽ εὐνῆθεν ἀνίστατο, ἰσόθεος φώς,
.. And Telemachus got out of bed, looking like a god:

.. εἵματα ἑσσάμενος· περὶ δὲ ξίφος ὀξὺ θέτ᾽ ὤμῳ· 125
ποσσὶ δ᾽ ὑπὸ λιπαροῖσιν ἐδήσατο καλὰ πέδιλα,
.. put on his raiment, slung a sharp sword about his shoulder, tied stout sandals beneath his feet;

.. εἵλετο δ᾽ ἄλκιμον ἔγχος, ἀκαχμένον ὀξέι· χαλκῷ·
.. then grabbed his stout spear, tipped with sharp bronze...
