SEA HEROES

Crash on crash of the sea,

straining to wreck men, sea-boards, continents,

raging against the world, furious,

stay at last, for against your fury

and your mad fight,

the line of heroes stands, god-like:

Akroneos, Oknolos, Elatreus,

helm-of-boat, loosener-of-helm, dweller-by-sea,

Nauteus, sea-man,

Prumneos, stern-of-ship,

Agchialos, sea-girt,

Elatreus, oar-shaft:

lover-of-the-sea, lover-of-the-sea-ebb,

lover-of-the-swift-sea,

Ponteus, Proreus, Ooos:

Anabesneos, one caught between

wave-shock and wave-shock:

Eurualos, broad sea-wrack,
