Examples

  • ἥ τε γὰρ θάλαττα εὐθὺσ ἀκύμων ἐγένετο καὶ τὴν γαλήνην ἐπισπασαμένη λείαν παρεῖχεν ἑαυτήν, ἡμεῖσ δὲ πάντεσ ἡσυχίαν ἄγοντεσ οὐδὲν ἄλλο ἢ θεαταὶ μόνον τῶν γιγνομένων παρηκολουθοῦμεν, Ἔρωτεσ δὲ παραπετόμενοι μικρὸν ἐκ τῆσ θαλάττησ, ὡσ ἐνίοτε ἄκροισ τοῖσ ποσὶν ἐπιψαύειν τοῦ ὕδατοσ, ἡμμένασ τὰσ δᾷδασ φέροντεσ ᾖδον ἅμα τὸν ὑμέναιον, αἱ Νηρηίδεσ δὲ ἀναδῦσαι παρίππευον ἐπὶ τῶν δελφίνων ἐπικροτοῦσαι ἡμίγυμνοι αἱ πολλαί, τό τε τῶν Τριτώνων γένοσ καὶ εἴ τι ἄλλο μὴ φοβερὸν ἰδεῖν τῶν θαλαττίων ἅπαντα περιεχόρευε τὴν παῖδα· (Lucian, Dialogi Marini, zephyrus and notus, chapter 33)
