Son of Atreus—for to your words as to those of none other will the host of the Achaeans give heed— of lamenting they may truly take their fill, but for this present disperse them from the pyre, and command them make ready their meal;
Ἀτρεΐδη , σοὶ γάρ τε μάλιστά γε λαὸς Ἀχαιῶν πείσονται μύθοισι , γόοιο μὲν ἔστι καὶ ἆσαι , νῦν δ' ἀπὸ πυρκαϊῆς σκέδασον καὶ δεῖπνον ἄνωχθι ὅπλεσθαι ·
Ἀτρείδης , σύ γάρ τε μάλιστα γε λαός Ἀχαιός πείθω μῦθος , γόος μέν εἰμί καί ἄω , νῦν δέ ἀπό πυρκαιά σκεδάννυμι καί δεῖπνος ἄνωγα ὅπλομαι ·
