and we came to the land of the Cyclopes, an overweening and lawless people, who, trusting in the immortal gods, plant nothing with their hands nor plough; but all these things spring up for them without sowing or ploughing, wheat, and barley, and vines, which bear the rich clusters of wine, and the rain of Zeus gives them increase.
Κυκλώπων δ' ἐς γαῖαν ὑπερφιάλων ἀθεμίστων ἱκόμεθ' , οἵ ῥα θεοῖσι πεποιθότες ἀθανάτοισιν οὔ τε φυτεύουσιν χερσὶν φυτὸν οὔ τ' ἀρόωσιν , ἀλλὰ τά γ' ἄσπαρτα καὶ ἀνήροτα πάντα φύονται , πυροὶ καὶ κριθαὶ ἠδ' ἄμπελοι , αἵ τε φέρουσιν οἶνον ἐριστάφυλον , καί σφιν Διὸς ὄμβρος ἀέξει .
Κύκλωψ δέ εἰς γαῖα ὑπερφίαλος ἀθέμιστος ἱκνέομαι , ὅς ἄρα θεός πείθω ἀθάνατος οὐ τε φυτεύω χείρ φυτόν οὐ τε ἀρόω , ἀλλά ὁ γε ἄσπαρτος καί ἀνήροτος πᾶς φύω , πυρός καί κριθή ἠδέ ἄμπελος , ὅς τε φέρω οἶνος ἐριστάφυλος , καί σφεῖς Ζεύς ὄμβρος ἀέξω .
