Meaning

The battle-roar, with the heroes' shouts in it, swallows even the thunder that ends the hot season, the loudest sound in nature. The first commentary: it outdid the thunder of the clouds at the end of summer. And the sunlight, caught on the tips of countless flying arrows, spreads over the field like an awning.
