Say to him that the gods are angered with him, and that I above all immortals am filled with wrath, for in the fury of his heart he holds Hector at the beaked ships and gave him not back, if so be he may be seized with fear of me and give Hector back.
σκύζεσθαί οἱ εἰπὲ θεούς , ἐμὲ δ' ἔξοχα πάντων ἀθανάτων κεχολῶσθαι , ὅτι φρεσὶ μαινομένῃσιν Ἕκτορ' ἔχει παρὰ νηυσὶ κορωνίσιν οὐ δ' ἀπέλυσεν , αἴ κέν πως ἐμέ τε δείσῃ ἀπό θ' Ἕκτορα λύσῃ .
σκύζομαι ἕ εἶπον θεός , ἐγώ δέ ἔξοχος πᾶς ἀθάνατος χολόω , ὅτι φρήν μαίνομαι Ἕκτωρ ἔχω παρά ναῦς κορωνίς οὐ δέ ἀπολύω , εἰ ἄν πως ἐγώ τε δείδω ἀπό τε Ἕκτωρ λύω .
