1825, “Libro IX [Book 9]”, in Vincenzo Monti, transl., Iliade [Iliad], Milan: Giovanni Resnati e Gius. Bernardoni di Gio, translation of Ἰλιάς (Iliás) by Homer, published 1840, page 182, lines 6–12:[…] in quella guisa,
Che il pescoso Oceàno si rabbuffa,
Quando improvviso dalla tracia tana
Di Ponente sorgiunge e d’Aquilone
L’impetuoso soffio; alto s’estolle
L’onda e si sparge di molt’alga il lido;
Tale è l’interna degli Achei tempesta.- In a manner similar to how the fishful ocean swells when, from the Thracian lair, suddenly the impetuous blowing of the west and north winds comes, the wave rises high, scattering lots of algae on the beach; such is the Achaeans’ inner storm.
