But the Trojans, like ravening lions, rushed upon the ships and were fulfilling the behests of Zeus, who ever roused great might in them, but made the hearts of the Argives to melt, and took away their glory, while he spurred on the others.
Τρῶες δὲ λείουσιν ἐοικότες ὠμοφάγοισι νηυσὶν ἐπεσσεύοντο , Διὸς δ' ἐτέλειον ἐφετμάς , ὅ σφισιν αἰὲν ἔγειρε μένος μέγα , θέλγε δὲ θυμὸν Ἀργείων καὶ κῦδος ἀπαίνυτο , τοὺς δ' ὀρόθυνεν .
Τρώς δέ λέων εἴκω1 ὠμόφαγος ναῦς ἐπισσεύω , Ζεύς δέ τελέω ἐφετμή , ὁ σφεῖς ἀεί ἐγείρω μένος μέγας , θέλγω δέ θυμός Ἀργεῖος καί κῦδος ἀπαίνυμαι , ὁ δέ ὀροθύνω .
