  1. upon my warring and Zeus is on my side. But we have no need of those who did not share our toils long since, when Ares, driving all before him, was rending the sails of our ship of state with his tempestuous blast. Rhesus has shown the friendship he then bore to Troy;
  2. for he comes to the feast, although he was not with the hunters when they took the prey, nor did he join his spear with theirs.
