A braver attempt had never before been seen
There was a fire in the sky, hungry and mean
He stood high, on the ridge, watching below
Awaiting the hour, in which he knew, he must go
To the aid of the villagers, there would be no dispute
For this fiery menace, would soon know him, a brute
He was suited for battle, against a foe he knew not
With only a shield and spear, this Spartan, fraught
Did gather himself, and set off, across the land
With the power of the gods, at his command
He fought through the day, and just before night
He returned to the villagers, a welcomed sight
Once again, on the mountain top, he guards his keep
While the beast in the sky, is at last, fast asleep
