My home is being devoured and my rich lands are ruined; with men that are foes my house is filled, who are ever slaying my thronging sheep and my sleek cattle of shambling gait, even the suitors of my mother, overweening in their insolence.
ἐσθίεταί μοι οἶκος , ὄλωλε δὲ πίονα ἔργα , δυσμενέων δ' ἀνδρῶν πλεῖος δόμος , οἵ τέ μοι αἰεὶ μῆλ' ἁδινὰ σφάζουσι καὶ εἰλίποδας ἕλικας βοῦς , μητρὸς ἐμῆς μνηστῆρες ὑπέρβιον ὕβριν ἔχοντες . [0]
ἐσθίω ἐγώ οἶκος , ὄλλυμι δέ πίων ἔργον , δυσμενής δέ ἀνήρ πλέως δόμος , ὅς τε ἐγώ ἀεί μῆλον1 ἀδινός σφάζω καί εἰλίπους ἕλιξ βοῦς , μήτηρ ἐμός μνηστήρ ὑπέρβιος ὕβρις ἔχω .
