The Palace

A poem by Alcaeus of Mytilene (c. 625/620 – c. 580 BC)

From roof to roof the spacious palace halls

Glitter with war’s array;

With burnished metal clad, the lofty walls

Beam like the bright noonday.

There white-plumed helmets hang from many a nail,

Above, in threatening row;

Steel-garnished tunics and broad coats of mail

Spread o’er the space below.

Chalcidian blades enow, and belts are here,

Greaves and emblazoned shields;

Well-tried protectors from the hostile spear,

On other battlefields.

With these good helps our work of war’s begun,

With these our victory must be won.
