I am minded even of myself to give Hector back to you; for from Zeus there came to me a messenger, even the mother that bore me, daughter of the old man of the sea.
νοέω δὲ καὶ αὐτὸς Ἕκτορά τοι λῦσαι , Διόθεν δέ μοι ἄγγελος ἦλθε μήτηρ , ἥ μ' ἔτεκεν , θυγάτηρ ἁλίοιο γέροντος .
νοέω δέ καί αὐτός Ἕκτωρ σύ λύω , Διόθεν δέ ἐγώ ἄγγελος ἔρχομαι μήτηρ , ὅς ἐγώ τίκτω , θυγάτηρ ἅλιος γέρων .
