Come you then, let us turn him back forthwith; or else thereafter let one of us stand likewise by Achilles' side, and give him great might, and suffer not the heart in his breast in any way to fail; to the end that he may know that they that love him are the best of the immortals, and those are worthless as wind, that hitherto have warded from thie Trojans war and battle.
ἀλλ' ἄγεθ' , ἡμεῖς πέρ μιν ἀποτρωπῶμεν ὀπίσσω αὐτόθεν , ἤ τις ἔπειτα καὶ ἡμείων Ἀχιλῆϊ παρσταίη , δοίη δὲ κράτος μέγα , μη δέ τι θυμῷ δευέσθω , ἵνα εἰδῇ ὅ μιν φιλέουσιν ἄριστοι ἀθανάτων , οἳ δ' αὖτ' ἀνεμώλιοι οἳ τὸ πάρος περ Τρωσὶν ἀμύνουσιν πόλεμον καὶ δηϊοτῆτα . [0]
ἀλλά ἄγε , ἐγώ πέρ μιν ἀποτρωπάω ὀπίσω αὐτόθεν , ἤ τις ἔπειτα καί ἐγώ Ἀχιλλεύς παρίστημι , δίδωμι δέ κράτος μέγας , μή δέ τις θυμός δεύω2 , ἵνα οἶδα ὁ μιν φιλέω ἄριστος ἀθάνατος , ὁ δέ αὖτε ἀνεμώλιος ὅς ὁ πάρος πέρ Τρώς ἀμύνω πόλεμος καί δηιοτής .
