And there, conversing over the past, and planning the future, they had sate long, when Hilda approached from the house, and entering the circle, leant her arm upon the altar of the war-god, and gazing on Harold with a calm triumph in her aspect, said: "Did I not smile, son of Godwin, when, with thy short-sighted wisdom, thou didst think to guard thy land and secure thy love, by urging the monk-king to send over the seas for the Atheling?
As if in him had been embodied the unyielding war-god of the Norsemen, in that death died the last hope of the vikings.
A god of one of the small islands, and seen in the sea-eel, or Maræna. If the sea-eel happened to be driven on to the shore in a gale or by any tidal wave it portended evil, and created a commotion all over the place. GA'E FEFE, Breathless fear. A war-god in some of the villages, and seen in a cocoa-nut-leaf basket.
During the night following, the great temple of the war-god was illuminated in sign of triumph, and the Spaniards listened in profound sadness to the beating of the great drum.
He spoke no English, but stood like some old Japanese war-god on the bank, looking intently from one to the other as they now finished their preparations for re-embarking. He seemed glad to take the money which Rob paid him for the dugout and shook hands pleasantly all around, to show his satisfaction. The boys saw that what Moise had said about the dugout was quite true.
"Oft that war-god came to hall Frighted, when no blood did fall, In the dusk; who ever cried On the bear last autumn-tide; No man saw me sitting there Late at eve before the lair; Yet the shaggy one to-day From his den I drew away." "Sure enough," said Biorn, "thou hast fared forth well to-day, and two tales thou tellest of us twain therefor; and well I know that thou hast had a good hit at me."
Singularly, Attila was said to "possess the iron sword of the war-god Mars," and he claimed for himself the designation or title "The Scourge of God"; while his followers were even more cruel and barbarous, if possible, than the Goths and the Vandals.
The oldest lays of Rome celebrated not only the mighty war-god Mamers, but also the skilled armourer Mamurius, who understood the art of forging for his fellow-burgesses shields similar to the divine model shield that had fallen from heaven; Volcanus the god of fire and of the forge already appears in the primitive list of Roman festivals.
And Phrixus married the King's daughter there, and offered the ram in sacrifice, and then it was that the ram's fleece was nailed to a beech in the wood of the War-god. After a while Phrixus died, but his spirit had no rest, for he was buried far from his native land and the pleasant hills of Hellas.
The longest of these contains an address to Dibbarra by his faithful attendant Ishum, in which the power of the war-god is praised and some of his deeds recounted. In a net thou didst catch them, enclose them, and destroy them, O! Warrior Dibbara, Leaving the city, thou didst pass to the outside, Taking on the form of a lion, thou didst enter the palace.
