This Olympics Year Poem by Douglas Scotney
This Olympics Year
We hear 'strong-greaved' a lot
in The Iliad.
'Achaeans' is often prefixed by it;
individual Achaeans too.
Don't trouble yourself:
Achaeans are Greeks;
greaves are shins.
We won't much hear,
though we could,
'strong-greaved Olympians',
'strong-greaved individual Olympians' too,
this Olympics year.
