And I left as much more with my children, when I fled the land, after I had slain the dear son of Idomeneus, Orsilochus, swift of foot, who in broad Crete surpassed in fleetness all men that live by toil. Now he would have robbed me of all that booty of Troy, for which I had borne grief of heart, passing through wars of men and the grievous waves, for I would not show favour to his father, and serve as his squire in the land of the Trojans, but commanded other men of my own.
λιπὼν δ' ἔτι παισὶ τοσαῦτα φεύγω , ἐπεὶ φίλον υἷα κατέκτανον Ἰδομενῆος , Ὀρσίλοχον πόδας ὠκύν , ὃς ἐν Κρήτῃ εὐρείῃ ἀνέρας ἀλφηστὰς νίκα ταχέεσσι πόδεσσιν , οὕνεκά με στερέσαι τῆς ληΐδος ἤθελε πάσης Τρωϊάδος , τῆς εἵνεκ' ἐγὼ πάθον ἄλγεα θυμῷ , ἀνδρῶν τε πτολέμους ἀλεγεινά τε κύματα πείρων , οὕνεκ' ἄρ' οὐχ ᾧ πατρὶ χαριζόμενος θεράπευον δήμῳ ἔνι Τρώων , ἀλλ' ἄλλων ἦρχον ἑταίρων .
λείπω δέ ἔτι παῖς τοσοῦτος φεύγω , ἐπεί φίλος υἱός κατακτείνω Ἰδομενεύς , Ὀρσίλοχος πούς ὠκύς , ὅς ἐν Κρήτη εὐρύς ἀνήρ ἀλφηστής νικάω ταχύς πούς , οὕνεκα ἐγώ στερέω ὁ ληίς ἐθέλω πᾶς Τρῳάς , ὁ ἕνεκα ἐγώ πάσχω ἄλγος θυμός , ἀνήρ τε πόλεμος ἀλεγεινός τε κῦμα πείρω , οὕνεκα ἄρα οὐ ἑός πατήρ χαρίζομαι θεραπεύω δῆμος ἐν Τρώς , ἀλλά ἄλλος ἄρχω ἑταῖρος .
