Σπάρτας παιάν (Τυρταίος)

Ἄγετ᾽ ὦ Σπάρτας εὐάνδρου
κῶροι πατέρων πολιητᾶν,
λαιᾶι μὲν ἴτυν προβάλεσθε,
δόρυ δ᾽ εὐτόλμως πάλλοντες,
μὴ φειδόμενοι τᾶς ζωᾶς
οὐ γὰρ πάτριον τᾶι Σπάρται

Sparta’s paean (Tyrtaeus)

Advance, oh goodman* Sparta’s
warriors** of fathers (that are) citizens,
jugging on one hand the shield out
bravely brandishing on the other hand the spear
without sparing (your own) lifes
because this isn’t patrimonial in Sparta
