At the end of such a list, so incomparable as to seem
incredible, of one great man's good works, we may be
forgiven the alteration of a word even in a verse from
Æschylus which we cannot choose but apply once more to
this leader in the advance of men made perfect through
doom of trial and long wayfaring, whose progress he
furthers by example and stimulates by song:--

[Greek: kurios esti throein hodion kratos aision andrôn
ekteleôn; eti gar theothen katapneiei
peithô molpan
alkai sumphutos aiôn.]

Æsch. _Agam._ 104-8.
