Would that with my present temper I were as young as you, either the son of blameless Odysseus, or Odysseus himself,
αἲ γάρ ἐγὼν οὕτω νέος εἴην τῷδ' ἐπὶ θυμῷ , ἢ παῖς ἐξ Ὀδυσῆος ἀμύμονος ἠὲ καὶ αὐτός ἔλθοι ἀλητεύων · ἔτι γὰρ καὶ ἐλπίδος αἶσα ·
αἴ γάρ ἐγώ οὕτως νέος εἰμί ὅδε ἐπί θυμός , ἤ παῖς ἐκ Ὀδυσσεύς ἀμύμων ἠέ καί αὐτός ἔρχομαι ἀλητεύω · ἔτι γάρ καί αἶσα ·
