Then there came up the spirit of the Theban Teiresias, bearing his golden staff in his hand, and he knew me and spoke to me:
&quot; ἦλθε δ' ἐπὶ ψυχὴ Θηβαίου Τειρεσίαο χρύσεον σκῆπτρον ἔχων , ἐμὲ δ' ἔγνω καὶ προσέειπεν ·
&quot; ἔρχομαι δέ ἐπί ψυχή Θηβαῖος Τειρεσίης χρύσεος σκῆπτρον ἔχω , ἐγώ δέ γιγνώσκω καί προσεῖπον ·
