Now when dawn was not yet, but night was still 'twixt light and dark, then was there gathered about the pyre the chosen host of the Achaeans, and they made about it a single barrow, rearing it from the plain for all alike; and thereby they built a wall and a lofty rampart, a defence for their ships and for themselves.
ἦμος δ' οὔ τ' ἄρ πω ἠώς , ἔτι δ' ἀμφιλύκη νύξ , τῆμος ἄρ' ἀμφὶ πυρὴν κριτὸς ἔγρετο λαὸς Ἀχαιῶν , τύμβον δ' ἀμφ' αὐτὴν ἕνα ποίεον ἐξαγαγόντες ἄκριτον ἐκ πεδίου , ποτὶ δ' αὐτὸν τεῖχος ἔδειμαν πύργους θ' ὑψηλούς , εἶλαρ νηῶν τε καὶ αὐτῶν . [0] [1]
ἦμος δέ οὔτι τε ἄρα πω ἠώς , ἔτι δέ ἀμφιλύκη νύξ , τῆμος ἄρα ἀμφί πυρή κριτός ἐγείρω λαός Ἀχαιός , τύμβος δέ ἀμφί αὐτός εἷς ποιέω ἐξάγω ἄκριτος ἐκ πεδίον , πρός δέ αὐτός τεῖχος δέμω πύργος τε ὑψηλός , εἶλαρ ναῦς τε καί αὐτός .
