For even if for the moment the Olympian promises not fulfillment, yet late and at length does he fulfill them, and with a heavy price do men make atonement, even with their own heads and their wives and their children.
εἴ περ γάρ τε καὶ αὐτίκ' Ὀλύμπιος οὐκ ἐτέλεσσεν , ἔκ τε καὶ ὀψὲ τελεῖ , σύν τε μεγάλῳ ἀπέτισαν σὺν σφῇσιν κεφαλῇσι γυναιξί τε καὶ τεκέεσσιν .
εἰ πέρ γάρ τε καί αὐτίκα Ὀλύμπιος οὐ τελέω , ἐκ τε καί ὀψέ τελέω , σύν τε μέγας ἀποτίνω σύν σφός κεφαλή γυνή τε καί τέκος .
