1. And of them all, Nestor was the first to hear.

    He said, “Listen, friends—my intuition has not failed:

  2. Something has crept into my ear, and my heart is my informant—

    a trotting beat, resounding with the steeds’ rolling clatter.

  3. Perhaps Diomedes and Odysseus are returning,

    driving from the foe the finest steeds, their hoofbeats rumbling.”
