Homer today: βάν ῥ᾽ ἴμεν ὥς τε λέοντε δύω διὰ νύκτα μέλαιναν/ ἂμ φόνον, ἂν νέκυας, διά τ᾽ ἔντεα καὶ μέλαν αἷμα.
They went like two lions through the black night/ through the slaughter through the corpses through the equipment and black blood
[Although inclined to the view that Book 10 is an organic part of the whole Iliad rather than a later insertion, something about the syntax here suggests to me the opposite.]
