Most glorious son of Atreus, Agamemnon, king of men, with you will I begin and with you make an end, for you are king over many hosts, and to you Zeus has promised the sceptre and judgements, that you may take counsel for your people.
Ἀτρεΐδη κύδιστε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν Ἀγάμεμνον ἐν σοὶ μὲν λήξω , σέο δ' ἄρξομαι , οὕνεκα πολλῶν λαῶν ἐσσι ἄναξ καί τοι Ζεὺς ἐγγυάλιξε σκῆπτρόν τ' ἠδὲ θέμιστας , ἵνά σφισι βουλεύῃσθα . [0]
Ἀτρείδης κύδιστος ἄναξ ἀνήρ Ἀγαμέμνων ἐν σύ μέν λήγω , σύ δέ ἄρχω , οὕνεκα πολύς λαός εἰμί ἄναξ καί σύ Ζεύς ἐγγυαλίζω σκῆπτρον τε ἠδέ θέμις , ἵνα σφεῖς βουλεύω .
