for it was he who set on foot these deeds, not so much through desire or need of the marriage, but with another purpose, which the son of Cronos did not bring to pass for him, that in the land of settled Ithaca he might himself be king, and might lie in wait for your son and kill him.
οὗτος γὰρ ἐπίηλεν τάδε ἔργα , οὔ τι γάμου τόσσον κεχρημένος οὐ δὲ χατίζων , ἀλλ' ἄλλα φρονέων , τά οἱ οὐκ ἐτέλεσσε Κρονίων , ὄφρ' Ἰθάκης κατὰ δῆμον ἐϋκτιμένης βασιλεύοι αὐτός , ἀτὰρ σὸν παῖδα κατακτείνειε λοχήσας .
οὗτος γάρ ἐπιάλλω ὅδε ἔργον , οὐ τις γάμος τόσος χράομαι οὐ δέ χατίζω , ἀλλά ἄλλος φρονέω , ὁ ἕ οὐ τελέω Κρονίων , ὄφρα Ἰθάκη κατά δῆμος ἐυκτίμενος βασιλεύω αὐτός , ἀτάρ σός παῖς κατακτείνω λοχάω .
