Both Uses of
semblance
in
The Iliad by Homer - (translated by: Edward)
- brave alone
In outward semblance; while Achilles yet
Went forth to battle, from the Dardan gates
The Trojans never ventur'd to advance,
So dreaded they his pond'rous spear; but now
Far from the walls, beside your ships, they fight.†Chpt 1.5 *
- Thence to the Greeks he shouted, loud and clear:
"Shame on ye, Greeks, base cowards, brave alone
In outward semblance!†Chpt 2.8
