[entheosareian]

“Seven warriors slaughtered a bull over a black shield, and then, touching the bull’s gore with their hands they swore an oath by Ares, by Enyo, and by Phobos who delights in blood, that either they will level the city and sack the Kadmeans’ town by force, or will in death smear the soil with their blood.”

- Aeschylus, Seven Against Thebes 41 ff (trans. Weir Smyth) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.)
