For if the son of Atreus were not offering you gifts and telling of yet others afterwards, but were ever furiously angry, I surely should not command you cast aside your anger and bear aid to the Argives even in their sore need.
εἰ μὲν γὰρ μὴ δῶρα φέροι τὰ δ' ὄπισθ' ὀνομάζοι Ἀτρεΐδης , ἀλλ' αἰὲν ἐπιζαφελῶς χαλεπαίνοι , οὐκ ἂν ἔγωγέ σε μῆνιν ἀπορρίψαντα κελοίμην Ἀργείοισιν ἀμυνέμεναι χατέουσί περ ἔμπης ·
εἰ μέν γάρ μή δῶρον φέρω ὁ δέ ὄπισθεν ὀνομάζω Ἀτρείδης , ἀλλά ἀεί ἐπιζάφελος χαλεπαίνω , οὐ ἄν ἐγώ σύ μῆνις ἀπορρίπτω κέλομαι Ἀργεῖος ἀμύνω χατέω πέρ ἔμπας ·
