"He went forth in silence along the shore of the loud-resounding sea." (A.T. Murray)
It comes from Homer's Iliad 1:34. Chryses, priest of Apollo, after having been sent away by Agamemnon (who rejected a ransom for the priest's daughter), goes by the shore of the sea to pray for revenge upon the Achaeans to the god.
The melody is that of the phrase itself. Bed'akeon para thina polyphloisboio thalasses. Greek hexameter is pretty melodic; check this other verse (Iliad 1:52): ball aiei de pyrainekyon kaionto thameiai ("and constantly the pyres of the dead burned thick").
