'''multitudes''':

:"Like the swarms of clustering bees that issue forever / in fresh bursts from the hollow in the stone, and hang like / bunched grapes as they hover beneat the flowers in spring time / fluttering in swarms together this way and that way, / so the many nations of men from the ships and the shelters / along the front of the deep sea beach marched in order / by companies to the assembly, and Rumour walked blazing among them, / Zeus' messenger, to hasten them along." (II.87-94) ''c.f. FQ''

:"As obliterating fire lights up a vast forest/ along the flares of a mountain, and the flare shows far off,/ So as they marched, from the magnificent bronze gleam went/ dazzling all about through the upper air to the heaven./ These, as the multitudinous nations of birds winged,/ of geese, and of cranes, and of swans long throated/ in the Asian meadow beside the Kaystrian waters/ this way and that way make their flights in the pride of their wings, then/ settle in clashing swarms and the whole meadow echoes with them,/ so of these multitudinous tribes from the ships and/ shelters poured to the plain of Skamandros, and the earth beneath their/ feet and under the feet of their horses thundered horribly." (II.455-466)

'''Therisites''', good with words, excellent orator, but says wrong/foolish words (II.~230)

: "So he spoke, and the Argives shouted aloud, as surf crashing / against a sheer ness, driven by the south wind descending, / some cliff out-jutting, left never alone by the waves from /mall the winds that blow, as they rise one place and another." (II.394-7)
