Would that in every matter it may be thus that Agamemnon may fulfill his wrath, even as now he led here a host of the Achaeans to no purpose, and lo! he has departed home to his dear native land with empty ships, and has left here noble Menelaus.
αἴθ' οὕτως ἐπὶ πᾶσι χόλον τελέσει' Ἀγαμέμνων , ὡς καὶ νῦν ἅλιον στρατὸν ἤγαγεν ἐνθάδ' Ἀχαιῶν , καὶ δὴ ἔβη οἶκον δὲ φίλην ἐς πατρίδα γαῖαν σὺν κεινῇσιν νηυσὶ λιπὼν ἀγαθὸν Μενέλαον .
εἴθε οὕτως ἐπί πᾶς χόλος τελέω Ἀγαμέμνων , ὡς καί νῦν ἅλιος στρατός ἄγω ἐνθάδε Ἀχαιός , καί δή βαίνω οἶκος δέ φίλος εἰς πατρίς γαῖα σύν κενός ναῦς λείπω ἀγαθός Μενέλαος .
