Father Zeus, that rule from Ida, most glorious, most great, grant that I may come to Achilles' hut as one to be welcomed and to be pitied; and send a bird of omen, even the swift messenger that to yourself is dearest of birds and is mightiest in strength; let him appear upon my right hand, to the end that, marking the sign with my own eyes, I may have trust therein, and go my way to the ships of the Danaans of fleet steeds.
Ζεῦ πάτερ Ἴδηθεν μεδέων κύδιστε μέγιστε δός μ' ἐς Ἀχιλλῆος φίλον ἐλθεῖν ἠδ' ἐλεεινόν , πέμψον δ' οἰωνὸν ταχὺν ἄγγελον , ὅς τε σοὶ αὐτῷ φίλτατος οἰωνῶν , καί εὑ κράτος ἐστὶ μέγιστον , δεξιόν , ὄφρά μιν αὐτὸς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖσι νοήσας τῷ πίσυνος ἐπὶ νῆας ἴω Δαναῶν ταχυπώλων . [0] [1]
Ζεύς πατήρ Ἴδη μεδέων κύδιστος μέγας δίδωμι ἐγώ εἰς Ἀχιλλεύς φίλος ἔρχομαι ἠδέ ἐλεεινός , πέμπω δέ οἰωνός ταχύς ἄγγελος , ὅς τε σύ αὐτός φίλτατος οἰωνός , καί ἕ κράτος εἰμί μέγας , δεξιός , ὄφρα μιν αὐτός ἐν ὀφθαλμός νοέω ὁ πίσυνος ἐπί ναῦς εἶμι Δαναοί ταχύπωλος .
