- When young Dawn with her rose-red fingers shone once more
- the monster relit his fire and milked his handsome ewes,
- each in order, putting a suckling underneath each dam,
- and as soon as he’d briskly finished all his chores
- he snatched up two more men and fixed his meal.
- Well-fed, he drove his fat sheep from the cave,
- lightly lifting the huge doorslab up and away,
- then slipped it back in place
- as a hunter flips the lid of his quiver shut.
- The Odyssey, Book 9, Translated by Robert Fagles.
