Over the fourth troop, ruled the ancient Phoinix the horseman ; And Alldmedon over the fifth, the famed son of Laerkes. Then when all these, with their leaders, were placed in rank by Achilleus, He them sternly addressed, and these were the words which he uttered : 200 " Murmidons, now remember for me, the threats which ye uttered " Against the Trojans as ye lay in the swift-going vessels, " All the time of my wrath ; how much each one of you blamed me : " ' Stem son of Peleus, on gall thy moth...er has reared thee ; " ' Pitiless thus in the ships to detain thy unwiUing companions ; " ' Let us return to our homes, in the ocean-traversing vessels, " ' Since this evU wrath has fall'n on the soul of our leader.' " Thus ye have ofttimes, assembling, said ; now plain is before you " Combat's mighty work for which ye erst were desirous ; " 2^ow is the time for each valiant heart to contend with the Trojans." 210 Speaking thus, he aroused the strength and the spirit within them ; And their ranks more firmly they closed at the voice of their chieftain.
