L.J.'s Bio

Nestor to his son Antilochos;

"Lean yourself over your polished car...A little to the left of your steeds;

Call to your right hand horse and goad him on, and slacken with your hands his reins.

Then let the left hand horse swerve close around the turning post,

So that the nave of well made wheel may seem to reach the stone's edge;

But avoid to graze it!"
