And if by chance he be angry at all because of his straight-horned cattle, and wish to destroy our ship, and the other gods consent, rather would I lose my life once for all with a gulp at the wave, than pine slowly away in a desert isle.
εἰ δὲ χολωσάμενός τι βοῶν ὀρθοκραιράων νῆ' ἐθέλῃ ὀλέσαι , ἐπὶ δ' ἕσπωνται θεοὶ ἄλλοι , βούλομ' ἅπαξ πρὸς κῦμα χανὼν ἀπὸ θυμὸν ὀλέσσαι , ἢ δηθὰ στρεύγεσθαι ἐὼν ἐν νήσῳ ἐρήμῃ .
εἰ δέ χολόω τις βοῦς ὀρθόκραιρος ναῦς ἐθέλω ὄλλυμι , ἐπί δέ ἕπομαι θεός ἄλλος , βούλομαι ἅπαξ πρός κῦμα χάσκω ἀπό θυμός ὄλλυμι , ἤ δηθά στρεύγομαι εἰμί ἐν νῆσος ἐρῆμος .
