But while the son of Tydeus was following after the cast of his spear far through the foremost fighters, where he had seen it fix itself in the earth, meanwhile Hector revived again, and leaping back into his chariot drove forth into the throng, and escaped black fate.
ὄφρα δὲ Τυδεΐδης μετὰ δούρατος ᾤχετ' ἐρωὴν τῆλε διὰ προμάχων , ὅθι οἱ καταείσατο γαίης τόφρ' Ἕκτωρ ἔμπνυτο , καὶ ἂψ ἐς δίφρον ὀρούσας ἐξέλασ' ἐς πληθύν , καὶ ἀλεύατο κῆρα μέλαιναν .
ὄφρα δέ Τυδεΐδης μετά δόρυ οἴχομαι ἐρωή τῆλε διά πρόμαχος , ὅθι ἕ καθίζω γαῖα τόφρα Ἕκτωρ ἐμπνέω , καί ἄψ εἰς δίφρος ὀρούω ἐξελαύνω εἰς πληθύς , καί ἀλέομαι κήρ μέλας .
