Agamemnon quotes

Vixere fortes anteAgamemnona Multi; sed omnes illacrimabiles Urgentur ignotique longa Nocte, carent quia vate sacro. Many brave men lived before Agamemnon's time; but theyare all unmourned and unknown, covered by the long night, because they lack their sacred poet.

-Horace full name  Quintus Horatius Flaccus   65
Odes, bk.4, no.9, l.25^8.
