for if at the turning-post you shall drive past the rest in your course, there is no man that shall catch you by a burst of speed, neither pass you by, nay, not though in pursuit he were driving brilliant Arion, the swift horse of Adrastus, that was of heavenly stock, or those of Laomedon, the brilliant breed of this land.
εἰ γάρ κ' ἐν νύσσῃ γε παρεξελάσῃσθα διώκων , οὐκ ἔσθ' ὅς κέ σ' ἕλῃσι μετάλμενος οὐ δὲ παρέλθῃ , οὐ δ' εἴ κεν μετόπισθεν Ἀρίονα δῖον ἐλαύνοι Ἀδρήστου ταχὺν ἵππον , ὃς ἐκ θεόφιν γένος ἦεν , ἢ τοὺς Λαομέδοντος , οἳ ἐνθάδε γ' ἔτραφεν ἐσθλοί .
εἰ γάρ ἄν ἐν νύσσα γε παρεξελαύνω διώκω , οὐ εἰμί ὅς ἄν σύ αἱρέω μεθάλλομαι οὐ δέ παρέρχομαι , οὐ δέ εἰ ἄν μετόπισθε Ἀρίων δῖος ἐλαύνω Ἄδραστος ταχύς ἵππος , ὅς ἐκ θεόφιν γένος εἰμί , ἤ ὁ Λαομέδων , ὅς ἐνθάδε γε τρέφω ἐσθλός .
