Woe is me, that am all unblest, seeing that I fathered sons the best in the broad land of Troy, yet of them I avow that not one is left, not godlike Nestor, not Troilus the warrior charioteer, not Hector that was a god among men, neither seemed he as the son of a mortal man, but of a god:
ὤ μοι ἐγὼ πανάποτμος , ἐπεὶ τέκον υἷας ἀρίστους Τροίῃ ἐν εὐρείῃ , τῶν δ' οὔ τινά φημι λελεῖφθαι , Μήστορά τ' ἀντίθεον καὶ Τρωΐλον ἱππιοχάρμην Ἕκτορά θ' , ὃς θεὸς ἔσκε μετ' ἀνδράσιν , οὐ δὲ ἐῴκει ἀνδρός γε θνητοῦ πάϊς ἔμμεναι ἀλλὰ θεοῖο . [0]
ὦ ἐγώ ἐγώ πανάποτμος , ἐπεί τίκτω υἱός ἄριστος Τροία ἐν εὐρύς , ὁ δέ οὐ τις φημί λείπω , Μήστωρ τε ἀντίθεος καί Τρωίλος ἱππιοχάρμης Ἕκτωρ τε , ὅς θεός εἰμί μετά ἀνήρ , οὐ δέ εἴκω1 ἀνήρ γε θνητός παῖς εἰμί ἀλλά θεός .
