Up, go, swift Iris; leave you the abode of Olympus and bear tidings within Ilios to great-hearted Priam that he go to the ships of the Achaeans to ransom his dear son, and that he bear gifts to Achilles which shall make glad his heart;
βάσκ' ἴθι Ἶρι ταχεῖα λιποῦσ' ἕδος Οὐλύμποιο ἄγγειλον Πριάμῳ μεγαλήτορι Ἴλιον εἴσω λύσασθαι φίλον υἱὸν ἰόντ' ἐπὶ νῆας Ἀχαιῶν , δῶρα δ' Ἀχιλλῆϊ φερέμεν τά κε θυμὸν ἰήνῃ οἶον , μὴ δέ τις ἄλλος ἅμα Τρώων ἴτω ἀνήρ .
βάσκω εἶμι Ἶρις ταχύς λείπω ἕδος Ὄλυμπος ἀγγέλλω Πρίαμος μεγαλήτωρ Ἴλιος εἴσω λύω φίλος υἱός εἶμι ἐπί ναῦς Ἀχαιός , δῶρον δέ Ἀχιλλεύς φέρω ὁ ἄν θυμός ἰαίνω οἶος , μή δέ τις ἄλλος ἅμα Τρώς εἶμι ἀνήρ .
