The myriad tribes of the dead... | Macro Monday 2016 October 31: Spooky and Frightful
"Yea and I should have seen the men of old, whom I was fain to look on, Theseus and Peirithous, renowned children of the gods. But ere that might be the myriad tribes of the dead thronged up together with wondrous clamour: and pale fear gat hold of me, lest the high goddess Persephone should send me the head of the Gorgon, that dread monster, from out of Hades." (Odyssey, Book XI, translation S.H. Butler & A. Lang
"J'aurais bien voulu voir les heros des vieux ages, Thésée,Pirithoos, nobles enfants des dieux. Mais avant eux voici qu'avec des cris d'enfer s'assemblaient les tribus innombrables des morts. Je me sentis verdir de crainte à la pensée que du fond de l'Hadès la noble persephone pourrait nous envoyer la tête de Gorgo, de ce monstre terrible" (Odyssée, XI, traduction Victor Bérard)
