Simonides of Ceos
Epitaph to the Spartan Dead at Plataea
Upon their own dear land eternal fame
they shed and passed into death's sombre cloud.
Yet, dying, they died not; valour's acclaim
frees them, immortal, from their earthly shroud.
(from "Sweet-voiced Sappho. Poems of Sappho and other Ancient Greek Authors translated into English Verse by Theodore Stephanides", 2015)
