μόνην δὲ ᾠδὴν μὲν ᾅσεται καὶ παραδέξεται τὴν τῷ Ἐνυαλίῳ πρέπουσαν μάλα ἰσχυρὰν καὶ διάτορον, οὐχ ἡδονὴν οὐδὲ ῥᾳθυμίαν φέρουσαν τοῖς ἀκούουσιν, ἀλλʼ ἀμήχανον φόβον καὶ θόρυβον, οἷον ὅ τε Ἄρης αὐτὸς ἤγειρεν, ὀξὺ κατʼ ἀκροτάτης πόλιος Τρώεσσι κελεύων, ὅ τε Ἀχιλλεὺς ὅτε φθεγξάμενος μόνον, πρὶν ὀφθῆναι, τροπὴν ἐποίησε τῶν Τρώων, καὶ δώδεκα ἀνδράσιν αἴτιος ὑπῆρξεν ὀλέθρου περὶ τοῖς αὐτῶν ἅρμασι καὶ ὅπλοις·
