But Odysseus took aim, and struck him with an arrow in the throat, and clean out through the tender neck passed the point;
τὸν δ' Ὀδυσεὺς κατὰ λαιμὸν ἐπισχόμενος βάλεν ἰῷ , ἀντικρὺ δ' ἁπαλοῖο δι' αὐχένος ἤλυθ' ἀκωκή .
ὁ δέ Ὀδυσσεύς κατά λαιμός ἐπίσχω βάλλω ἰός , ἀντικρύ δέ ἁπαλός διά αὐχήν ἔρχομαι ἀκωκή .
