read the passage describing the greek and trojan armies:

sudden as hungry wolves the kids purloin
or lambs, which haply some unheeding swain
hath left to roam at large the mountains wild;
they, seeing, snatch them from beside the dams,
and rend incontinent the feeble prey,
so swift the danaï the host assail'd
of ilium; they, into tumultuous flight
together driven, all hope, all courage lost.
