come, now, listen to my words, that you may tell to another hero, when in your halls you are feasting with your wife and children, and remember our skill, what feats Zeus has promised to us from our fathers' days even until now.
ἀλλ' ἄγε νῦν ἐμέθεν ξυνίει ἔπος , ὄφρα καὶ ἄλλῳ εἴπῃς ἡρώων , ὅτε κεν σοῖς ἐν μεγάροισι δαινύῃ παρὰ σῇ τ' ἀλόχῳ καὶ σοῖσι τέκεσσιν , ἡμετέρης ἀρετῆς μεμνημένος , οἷα καὶ ἡμῖν Ζεὺς ἐπὶ ἔργα τίθησι διαμπερὲς ἐξ ἔτι πατρῶν . [0]
ἀλλά ἄγε νῦν ἐγώ συνίημι ἔπος , ὄφρα καί ἄλλος εἶπον ἥρως , ὅτε ἄν σός ἐν μέγαρον δαίνυμι παρά σός τε ἄλοχος καί σός τέκος , ἡμέτερος ἀρετή μιμνήσκω , οἷος καί ἐγώ Ζεύς ἐπί ἔργον τίθημι διαμπερές ἐκ ἔτι πατήρ .
