And when Hephaestus heard the grievous tale, he went his way to his smithy, pondering evil in the deep of his heart, and set on the anvil block the great anvil and forged bonds which might not be broken or loosed, that the lovers might bide fast where they were.
Ἥφαιστος δ' ὡς οὖν θυμαλγέα μῦθον ἄκουσε , βῆ ῥ' ἴμεν ἐς χαλκεῶνα κακὰ φρεσὶ βυσσοδομεύων , ἐν δ' ἔθετ' ἀκμοθέτῳ μέγαν ἄκμονα , κόπτε δὲ δεσμοὺς ἀρρήκτους ἀλύτους , ὄφρ' ἔμπεδον αὖθι μένοιεν . [0]
Ἥφαιστος δέ ὡς οὖν θυμαλγής μῦθος ἀκούω , βαίνω ἄρα εἶμι εἰς χαλκέων κακός φρήν βυσσοδομεύω , ἐν δέ τίθημι ἀκμόθετον μέγας ἄκμων , κόπτω δέ δεσμός ἄρρηκτος ἄλυτος , ὄφρα ἔμπεδος αὖθι μένω .
