You have come home from the ends of the earth,
with a gold and ivory handled sword ...
fighting alongside the Babylonians you performed great deeds,
and you rescued them from difficulties
by killing a giant warrior nearly five cubits tall!
- Poem by Alkaios, welcoming home his brother, who fought as a mercenary for the Babylonians king Nebuchadnezzar
