Anon he sang how the sons of the Achaeans issued from the horse, and sacked the town, breaking out from their ambuscade.
When we got to the land, which was not far, there, on the face of a cliff near the sea, we saw a great cave overhung with laurels. It was a station for a great many sheep and goats, and outside there was a large yard, with a high wall round it made of stones built into the ground and of trees both pine and oak.

L Book XI 148
