these things we will make good afterwards, if somehow Zeus shall grant to set for ourselves in our halls a bowl of freedom for the heavenly gods that are for ever, when we have driven out from the land of Troy the well-greaved Achaeans.
τὰ δ' ὄπισθεν ἀρεσσόμεθ' , αἴ κέ ποθι Ζεὺς δώῃ ἐπουρανίοισι θεοῖς αἰειγενέτῃσι κρητῆρα στήσασθαι ἐλεύθερον ἐν μεγάροισιν ἐκ Τροίης ἐλάσαντας ἐϋκνήμιδας Ἀχαιούς .
ὁ δέ ὄπισθεν ἀρέσκω , εἰ ἄν ποθι Ζεύς δίδωμι ἐπουράνιος θεός ἀειγενέτης κρατήρ ἵστημι ἐλεύθερος ἐν μέγαρον ἐκ Τροία ἐλαύνω ἐυκνήμις Ἀχαιός .
