Μήτι τοι δρυτόμος μέγ' ἀμείνων ἠὲ βίηφι·μήτι δ' αὖτε κυβερνήτης ἐνὶ οἴνοπι πόντῳνῆα θοὴν ἰθύνει ἐρεχθομένην ἀνέμοισι·μήτι δ' ἡνίοχος περιγίγνεται ἡνιόχοιο.
The woodcutter is far better for skill than he is for brute strength.It is by skill that the sea captain holds his rapid shipon its course, though torn by winds, over the wine-blue water.By skill charioteer outpasses charioteer.
