Such sandal—let the son of Sostratus know it—
Gleams on his foot. Deeds without peril brought
To pass on land or sea win from no poet
Honour; but of each high achievement wrought
With hard toil, many the recorders are.
Thy deeds, Agesias, that same praise hath followed
Which justly Adrastus spake and published far
Of Amphiaraus, when the earth had swallowed
Oïkleus’ son and his bright battle-car.
