For not yet have I come near the shore of Achaea, nor have I as yet set foot on my own land, but have ever been wandering, laden with woe, from the day when first I went with brilliant Agamemnon to Ilios, famed for its horses, to fight with the Trojans.
οὐ γάρ πω σχεδὸν ἦλθον Ἀχαιΐδος , οὐ δέ πω ἁμῆς γῆς ἐπέβην , ἀλλ' αἰὲν ἔχων ἀλάλημαι ὀιζύν , ἐξ οὗ τὰ πρώτισθ' ἑπόμην Ἀγαμέμνονι δίῳ Ἴλιον εἰς ἐύπωλον , ἵνα Τρώεσσι μαχοίμην .
οὐ γάρ πω σχεδόν ἔρχομαι Ἀχαιίς , οὐ δέ πω ἁμός γῆ ἐπιβαίνω , ἀλλά ἀεί ἔχω ἀλάλημαι ὀιζύς , ἐκ ὅς ὁ πρώτιστος ἕπομαι Ἀγαμέμνων δῖος Ἴλιος εἰς εὔπωλος , ἵνα Τρώς μάχομαι .
