An Archer’s Boast
Anthologia Palatina 6.9 = Mnasalcas (Hellenistic period) For you, Phoebus, are hung up these gifts from Promachus: His bent bow and quiver that poured forth arrows. As for his winged shafts, in the tumult of battle Men have them buried deep in their hearts- Deadly gifts for those who wished him ill. Σοὶ μὲν καμπύλα τόξα καὶ ἰοχέαιρα φαρέτρα, δῶρα παρὰ Προμάχου, Φοῖβε, τάδε κρέμαται· ἰοὺς δὲ πτερόεντας ἀνὰ κλόνον ἄνδρες ἔχουσιν ἐν κραδίαις ὀλοὰ ξείνια δυσμενέων.
