Father Zeus, have you no indignation with Ares for these violent deeds, that he has destroyed so great and so brilliant a host of the Achaeans recklessly and in no seemly wise to my sorrow; while at their ease Cypris and Apollo of the silver bow take their joy, having set on this madman that regards not any law?
Ζεῦ πάτερ οὐ νεμεσίζῃ Ἄρῃ τάδε καρτερὰ ἔργα ὁσσάτιόν τε καὶ οἷον ἀπώλεσε λαὸν Ἀχαιῶν μὰψ ἀτὰρ οὐ κατὰ κόσμον ἐμοὶ δ' ἄχος , οἳ δὲ ἕκηλοι τέρπονται Κύπρίς τε καὶ ἀργυρότοξος Ἀπόλλων ἄφρονα τοῦτον ἀνέντες , ὃς οὔ τινα οἶδε θέμιστα ; [0]
Ζεύς πατήρ οὐ νεμεσίζομαι Ἄρης ὅδε καρτερός ἔργον ὁσσάτιος τε καί οἷος ἀπόλλυμι λαός Ἀχαιός μάψ ἀτάρ οὐ κατά κόσμος ἐγώ δέ ἄχος , ὁ δέ ἕκηλος τέρπω Κύπρις τε καί ἀργυρότοξος Ἀπόλλων ἄφρων οὗτος ἀνίημι , ὅς οὐ τις οἶδα θέμις ;
