Nearby the ships and the wall have the Trojans, high of heart, and their far-famed allies set their bivouac, and kindled many fires throughout the host, and they think that they shall no more be stayed, but will fall upon our black ships.
ἐγγὺς γὰρ νηῶν καὶ τείχεος αὖλιν ἔθεντο Τρῶες ὑπέρθυμοι τηλεκλειτοί τ' ἐπίκουροι κηάμενοι πυρὰ πολλὰ κατὰ στρατόν , οὐ δ' ἔτι φασὶ σχήσεσθ' , ἀλλ' ἐν νηυσὶ μελαίνῃσιν πεσέεσθαι .
ἐγγύς γάρ ναῦς καί τεῖχος αὖλις τίθημι Τρώς ὑπέρθυμος τηλεκλειτός τε ἐπίκουρος καίω πυρά πολύς κατά στρατός , οὐ δέ ἔτι φημί ἔχω , ἀλλά ἐν ναῦς μέλας πίπτω .
