And as when a man overlays silver with gold, a cunning workman whom Hephaestus and Pallas Athena have taught all manner of craft, and full of grace is the work he produces, even so the goddess shed grace upon his head and shoulders.
ὡς δ' ὅτε τις χρυσὸν περιχεύεται ἀργύρῳ ἀνὴρ ἴδρις , ὃν Ἥφαιστος δέδαεν καὶ Παλλὰς Ἀθήνη τέχνην παντοίην , χαρίεντα δὲ ἔργα τελείει , ὣς ἄρα τῷ κατέχευε χάριν κεφαλῇ τε καὶ ὤμοις .
ὡς δέ ὅτε τις χρυσός περιχέω ἄργυρος ἀνήρ ἴδρις , ὅς Ἥφαιστος δάω καί Παλλάς Ἀθήνη τέχνη παντοῖος , χαρίεις δέ ἔργον τελέω , ὡς ἄρα ὁ καταχέω χάρις κεφαλή τε καί ὦμος .
