for both of us two are fated to redden the selfsame earth with our blood here in the land of Troy; since neither shall I come back to be welcomed of the old knight Peleus in his halls, nor of my mother Thetis, but even here shall the earth hold me fast.
ἄμφω γὰρ πέπρωται ὁμοίην γαῖαν ἐρεῦσαι αὐτοῦ ἐνὶ Τροίῃ , ἐπεὶ οὐ δ' ἐμὲ νοστήσαντα δέξεται ἐν μεγάροισι γέρων ἱππηλάτα Πηλεὺς οὐ δὲ Θέτις μήτηρ , ἀλλ' αὐτοῦ γαῖα καθέξει . [0] [1]
ἄμφω γάρ πόρω ὅμοιος γαῖα ἐρεύθω αὐτοῦ ἐν Τροία , ἐπεί οὐ δέ ἐγώ νοστέω δέχομαι ἐν μέγαρον γέρων ἱππηλάτης Πηλεύς οὐ δέ Θέτις μήτηρ , ἀλλά αὐτοῦ γαῖα κατέχω .
