Asia Minor: Troy

The Shores of Troy

By Quintus Calaber (c. 4th century)

AS rose in heaven the morning clear and bright,

Ida’s long towery ridge appeared in sight;

Next Chrysa’s isle, and Smintheus’ holy fane,

Then bold Sigeum beetling o’er the main;

And great Pelides’ tomb,—that point alone

With gentle care Ulysses to the son

Delayed, far rising o’er the waves, to show,

Cautious to make the deep but slumbering woe.
