But for myself, I had rather endure many grievous toils before I reached home and saw the day of my returning, than after my return be slain at my hearth, as Agamemnon was slain by the guile of Aegisthus and of his own wife.
βουλοίμην δ' ἂν ἐγώ γε καὶ ἄλγεα πολλὰ μογήσας οἴκαδέ τ' ἐλθέμεναι καὶ νόστιμον ἦμαρ ἰδέσθαι , ἢ ἐλθὼν ἀπολέσθαι ἐφέστιος , ὡς Ἀγαμέμνων ὤλεθ' ὑπ' Αἰγίσθοιο δόλῳ καὶ ἧς ἀλόχοιο .
βούλομαι δέ ἄν ἐγώ γε καί ἄλγος πολύς μογέω οἴκαδε τε ἔρχομαι καί νόστιμος ἦμαρ εἶδον , ἤ ἔρχομαι ἀπόλλυμι ἐφέστιος , ὡς Ἀγαμέμνων ὄλλυμι ὑπό Αἴγισθος δόλος καί ὅς ἄλοχος .
