All 3 Uses of
repast
in
The Iliad by Homer - (translated by: Edward)
- Then, throwing on the car the bloody spoils,
He mounted, hands and feet imbrued with blood,
As 'twere a lion, fresh from his repast
Upon the carcase of a slaughter'd bull.†Chpt 2.17
- The hero obstinately refuses all repast, and gives himself up to lamentations for his friend.†
Chpt 2.18 *
- The chief he found
Within, his followers seated all apart;
Two only in his presence minister'd,
The brave Automedon, and Alcimus,
A warrior bold; scarce ended the repast
Of food and wine; the table still was set.†Chpt 2.24
