These by the streams of fam'd Eurymedon
Their envied youth's short brilliant race have run :
In swift-wing'd ships, and on th' embattled field,
Alike they forc'd the Median bows to yield,
Breaking their foremost ranks. Now here they lie,
Their names inscribed on rolls of victory. Simonides ,Greek Anthology
