Invasion of the Barbarians or The Huns approaching Rome by Ulpiano Checa y Sanz 1887
"Ares insatiable in battle, blazing like the light of burning fire in his armour and standing in his chariots, and his running horses trampled and dented the ground with their hooves . . . And all the grove and the altar . . . were lighted up by the dread God, Ares, himself and his armour, and the shining from his eyes was like fire . . . manslaughtering Ares screaming aloud, courses all over the sacred grove."
-Hesiod, Shield of Heracles 56 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or 7th BCE)
