Afar do the spirits keep me aloof, the phantoms of men that have done with toils, neither suffer they me to join myself to them beyond the River, but vainly I wander through the wide-gated house of Hades.
τῆλέ με εἴργουσι ψυχαὶ εἴδωλα καμόντων , οὐ δέ μέ πω μίσγεσθαι ὑπὲρ ποταμοῖο ἐῶσιν , ἀλλ' αὔτως ἀλάλημαι ἀν' εὐρυπυλὲς Ἄϊδος δῶ . [0]
τῆλε ἐγώ ἔργω ψυχή εἴδωλον κάμνω , οὐ δέ ἐγώ πω μίγνυμι ὑπέρ ποταμός ἐάω , ἀλλά αὔτως ἀλάλημαι ἀνά εὐρυπυλής Ἀίδης δῶμα .
