   • 800 BCE – 600 BCE, Homer, Iliad 4.212:

     ἀλλ’ ὅτε δή ῥ’ ἵκανον ὅθι ξανθὸς Μενέλαος βλήμενος ἦν, περὶ δ’ αὐτὸν ἀγηγέραθ’ ὅσσοι ἄριστοι κυκλόσ’, ὃ δ’ ἐν μέσσοισι παρίστατο ἰσόθεος φώς, αὐτίκα δ’ ἐκ ζωστῆρος ἀρηρότος ἕλκεν ὀϊστόν: τοῦ δ’ ἐξελκομένοιο πάλιν ἄγεν ὀξέες ὄγκοι

     all’ hóte dḗ rh’ híkanon hóthi xanthòs Menélaos blḗmenos ên, perì d’ autòn agēgérath’ hóssoi áristoi kuklós’, hò d’ en méssoisi parístato isótheos phṓs, autíka d’ ek zōstêros arērótos hélken oïstón: toû d’ exelkoménoio pálin ágen oxées ónkoi

     And when they were come where was fair-haired Menelaus, wounded, and around him were gathered in a circle all they that were chieftains, the godlike hero came and stood in their midst, and straightway drew forth the arrow from the clasped belt; and as it was drawn forth the sharp barbs were broken backwards.
