lord Agamemnon calls you to see warlike Menelaus, captain of the Achaeans, whom some man, well skilled in archery, has struck with an arrow, some Trojan or Lycian, compassing glory for himself but for us sorrow.
ὄρσ' Ἀσκληπιάδη , καλέει κρείων Ἀγαμέμνων , ὄφρα ἴδῃς Μενέλαον ἀρήϊον ἀρχὸν Ἀχαιῶν , ὅν τις ὀϊστεύσας ἔβαλεν τόξων ἐῢ εἰδὼς Τρώων ἢ Λυκίων , τῷ μὲν κλέος , ἄμμι δὲ πένθος . [0] [1]
ὄρνυμι Ἀσκληπιάδης , καλέω κρείων Ἀγαμέμνων , ὄφρα εἶδον Μενέλαος ἄρειος ἀρχός Ἀχαιός , ὅς τις ὀιστεύω βάλλω τόξον εὖ οἶδα Τρώς ἤ Λύκιοι , ὁ μέν κλέος , ἐγώ δέ πένθος .
