Thereafter make you prayer to the son of Cronos, lord of the dark chouds, the god of Ida, that looks down upon all the land of Troy, and ask of him a bird of omen, even the swift messenger that to himself is dearest of birds and is mightiest in strength; let him appear upon your right hand, to the end that marking the sign with your own eyes, you may have trust therein, and go your way to the ships of the Danaans of fleet steeds.
ἀλλ' εὔχεο σύ γ' ἔπειτα κελαινεφέϊ Κρονίωνι Ἰδαίῳ , ὅς τε Τροίην κατὰ πᾶσαν ὁρᾶται , αἴτει δ' οἰωνὸν ταχὺν ἄγγελον , ὅς τέ οἱ αὐτῷ φίλτατος οἰωνῶν , καί εὑ κράτος ἐστὶ μέγιστον , δεξιόν , ὄφρά μιν αὐτὸς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖσι νοήσας τῷ πίσυνος ἐπὶ νῆας ἴῃς Δαναῶν ταχυπώλων . [0]
ἀλλά εὔχομαι σύ γε ἔπειτα κελαινεφής Κρονίων Ἰδαῖος , ὅς τε Τροία κατά πᾶς ὁράω , αἰτέω δέ οἰωνός ταχύς ἄγγελος , ὅς τε ἕ αὐτός φίλτατος οἰωνός , καί ἕ κράτος εἰμί μέγας , δεξιός , ὄφρα μιν αὐτός ἐν ὀφθαλμός νοέω ὁ πίσυνος ἐπί ναῦς εἶμι Δαναοί ταχύπωλος .
