§1.338καί σφωϊν δὸς ἄγειν· τὼ δʼ αὐτὼ μάρτυροι ἔστων §1.339πρός τε θεῶν μακάρων πρός τε θνητῶν ἀνθρώπων §1.340καὶ πρὸς τοῦ βασιλῆος ἀπηνέος εἴ ποτε δʼ αὖτε §1.341χρειὼ ἐμεῖο γένηται ἀεικέα λοιγὸν ἀμῦναι
"And give her to them to lead away; and let those two themselves be witnesses before the blessed gods, and before mortal men, and before that ruthless king, if ever hereafter there should be need of me to ward off shameful ruin from the rest.
§1.342τοῖς ἄλλοις· ἦ γὰρ ὅ γʼ ὀλοιῇσι φρεσὶ θύει, §1.343οὐδέ τι οἶδε νοῆσαι ἅμα πρόσσω καὶ ὀπίσσω, §1.344ὅππως οἱ παρὰ νηυσὶ σόοι μαχέοιντο Ἀχαιοί. §1.345ὣς φάτο, Πάτροκλος δὲ φίλῳ ἐπεπείθεθʼ ἑταίρῳ, §1.346ἐκ δʼ ἄγαγε κλισίης Βρισηΐδα καλλιπάρῃον, §1.347δῶκε δʼ ἄγειν· τὼ δʼ αὖτις ἴτην παρὰ νῆας Ἀχαιῶν·
For indeed he rages with destructive mind, and does not know at all how to think at once of the past and the future, so that the Achaeans might fight in safety by their ships." Thus he spoke, and Patroclus obeyed his dear companion, and led out fair-cheeked Briseis from the hut, and gave her to them to lead away; and they went back along the ships of the Achaeans.
§1.348ἣ δʼ ἀέκουσʼ ἅμα τοῖσι γυνὴ κίεν·
And the woman went with them unwillingly.
αὐτὰρ Ἀχιλλεὺς §1.349δακρύσας ἑτάρων ἄφαρ ἕζετο νόσφι λιασθείς, §1.350θῖνʼ ἔφʼ ἁλὸς πολιῆς, ὁρόων ἐπʼ ἀπείρονα πόντον·
But Achilles wept, and immediately sat down apart, withdrawing from his companions, on the shore of the gray sea, looking over the boundless deep.
§1.351πολλὰ δὲ μητρὶ φίλῃ ἠρήσατο χεῖρας ὀρεγνύς· §1.352μῆτερ ἐπεί μʼ ἔτεκές γε μινυνθάδιόν περ ἐόντα, §1.353τιμήν πέρ μοι ὄφελλεν Ὀλύμπιος ἐγγυαλίξαι §1.354Ζεὺς ὑψιβρεμέτης· νῦν δʼ οὐδέ με τυτθὸν ἔτισεν·
And he prayed much to his dear mother, stretching out his hands: "Mother, since you bore me to be but brief-lived, honor at least the Olympian ought to have granted me, high-thundering Zeus; but now he has honored me not even a little.
§1.355ἦ γάρ μʼ Ἀτρεΐδης εὐρὺ κρείων Ἀγαμέμνων §1.356ἠτίμησεν· ἑλὼν γὰρ ἔχει γέρας αὐτὸς ἀπούρας. §1.357ὣς φάτο δάκρυ χέων, τοῦ δʼ ἔκλυε πότνια μήτηρ §1.358ἡμένη ἐν βένθεσσιν ἁλὸς παρὰ πατρὶ γέροντι·
For indeed the son of Atreus, wide-ruling Agamemnon, has dishonored me; for he has taken away my prize and holds it himself, having robbed me." Thus he spoke, shedding tears, and his lady mother heard him, as she sat in the depths of the sea beside her ancient father.
§1.359καρπαλίμως δʼ ἀνέδυ πολιῆς ἁλὸς ἠΰτʼ ὀμίχλη, §1.360καί ῥα πάροιθʼ αὐτοῖο καθέζετο δάκρυ χέοντος, §1.361χειρί τέ μιν κατέρεξεν ἔπος τʼ ἔφατʼ ἔκ τʼ ὀνόμαζε· §1.362τέκνον τί κλαίεις;
And swiftly she emerged from the gray sea like a mist, and sat down before him as he wept, and stroked him with her hand, and spoke to him, and called him by name: "My child, why do you weep?
τί δέ σε φρένας ἵκετο πένθος;
What sorrow has come upon your heart?
§1.363ἐξαύδα, μὴ κεῦθε νόῳ, ἵνα εἴδομεν ἄμφω. §1.364τὴν δὲ βαρὺ στενάχων προσέφη πόδας ὠκὺς Ἀχιλλεύς· §1.365οἶσθα· τί ἤ τοι ταῦτα ἰδυίῃ πάντʼ ἀγορεύω;
Speak out, hide it not in your mind, so that we both may know." Then groaning heavily, swift-footed Achilles spoke to her: "You know; why indeed should I tell all this to you who already know?
We went to Thebe, the sacred city of Eetion, and we sacked it, and brought all the spoil here.
§1.368καὶ τὰ μὲν εὖ δάσσαντο μετὰ σφίσιν υἷες Ἀχαιῶν, §1.369ἐκ δʼ ἕλον Ἀτρεΐδῃ Χρυσηΐδα καλλιπάρῃον.
And the sons of the Achaeans distributed it fairly among themselves, and chose for the son of Atreus fair-cheeked Chryseis.
§1.370Χρύσης δʼ αὖθʼ ἱερεὺς ἑκατηβόλου Ἀπόλλωνος §1.371ἦλθε θοὰς ἐπὶ νῆας Ἀχαιῶν χαλκοχιτώνων §1.372λυσόμενός τε θύγατρα φέρων τʼ ἀπερείσιʼ ἄποινα, §1.373στέμματʼ ἔχων ἐν χερσὶν ἑκηβόλου Ἀπόλλωνος §1.374χρυσέῳ ἀνὰ σκήπτρῳ, καὶ λίσσετο πάντας Ἀχαιούς, §1.375Ἀτρεΐδα δὲ μάλιστα δύω κοσμήτορε λαῶν.
But Chryses, the priest of far-shooting Apollo, came to the swift ships of the bronze-clad Achaeans to ransom his daughter, bringing boundless ransom, and holding in his hands the fillets of far-shooting Apollo upon a golden scepter, and he entreated all the Achaeans, and most of all the two sons of Atreus, the marshals of the people.
§1.376ἔνθʼ ἄλλοι μὲν πάντες ἐπευφήμησαν Ἀχαιοὶ §1.377αἰδεῖσθαί θʼ ἱερῆα καὶ ἀγλαὰ δέχθαι ἄποινα· §1.378ἀλλʼ οὐκ Ἀτρεΐδῃ Ἀγαμέμνονι ἥνδανε θυμῷ, §1.379ἀλλὰ κακῶς ἀφίει, κρατερὸν δʼ ἐπὶ μῦθον ἔτελλε·
Then all the other Achaeans shouted assent to reverence the priest and to accept the glorious ransom; yet it did not please the heart of Agamemnon, son of Atreus, but he sent him away harshly, and laid a stern command upon him.
§1.380χωόμενος δʼ ὁ γέρων πάλιν ᾤχετο· τοῖο δʼ Ἀπόλλων §1.381εὐξαμένου ἤκουσεν, ἐπεὶ μάλα οἱ φίλος ἦεν, §1.382ἧκε δʼ ἐπʼ Ἀργείοισι κακὸν βέλος· οἳ δέ νυ λαοὶ §1.383θνῇσκον ἐπασσύτεροι, τὰ δʼ ἐπῴχετο κῆλα θεοῖο §1.384πάντῃ ἀνὰ στρατὸν εὐρὺν Ἀχαιῶν·
And the old man went back angry; but Apollo heard his prayer, since he was very dear to him, and sent an evil shaft against the Argives; and the people were dying one upon another, and the shafts of the god went everywhere throughout the wide camp of the Achaeans.
ἄμμι δὲ μάντις §1.385εὖ εἰδὼς ἀγόρευε θεοπροπίας ἑκάτοιο.
And to us a prophet who well knew declared the oracles of the far-shooter.
§1.386αὐτίκʼ ἐγὼ πρῶτος κελόμην θεὸν ἱλάσκεσθαι· §1.387Ἀτρεΐωνα δʼ ἔπειτα χόλος λάβεν, αἶψα δʼ ἀναστὰς §1.388ἠπείλησεν μῦθον ὃ δὴ τετελεσμένος ἐστί·
At once I was the first to urge that we appease the god; but then anger seized the son of Atreus, and quickly rising he threatened a word which indeed has now been fulfilled.
§1.389τὴν μὲν γὰρ σὺν νηῒ θοῇ ἑλίκωπες Ἀχαιοὶ §1.390ἐς Χρύσην πέμπουσιν, ἄγουσι δὲ δῶρα ἄνακτι· §1.391τὴν δὲ νέον κλισίηθεν ἔβαν κήρυκες ἄγοντες §1.392κούρην Βρισῆος τήν μοι δόσαν υἷες Ἀχαιῶν.
For the one, the bright-eyed Achaeans in a swift ship are sending to Chryse, and are carrying gifts to the king; but the other, the daughter of Briseus whom the sons of the Achaeans gave me, heralds have just gone and led away from my hut.
§1.393ἀλλὰ σὺ εἰ δύνασαί γε περίσχεο παιδὸς ἑῆος· §1.394ἐλθοῦσʼ Οὔλυμπον δὲ Δία λίσαι, εἴ ποτε δή τι §1.395ἢ ἔπει ὤνησας κραδίην Διὸς ἠὲ καὶ ἔργῳ.
But do you, if you are able, protect your own son; go to Olympus and entreat Zeus, if ever indeed you have aided the heart of Zeus either by word or by deed.
§1.396πολλάκι γάρ σεο πατρὸς ἐνὶ μεγάροισιν ἄκουσα §1.397εὐχομένης ὅτʼ ἔφησθα κελαινεφέϊ Κρονίωνι §1.398οἴη ἐν ἀθανάτοισιν ἀεικέα λοιγὸν ἀμῦναι, §1.399ὁππότε μιν ξυνδῆσαι Ὀλύμπιοι ἤθελον ἄλλοι §1.400Ἥρη τʼ ἠδὲ Ποσειδάων καὶ Παλλὰς Ἀθήνη·
For often I have heard you boasting in the halls of my father, when you said that you alone among the immortals warded off shameful ruin from the son of Chronos, lord of the dark clouds, when the other Olympians wished to bind him, Hera and Poseidon and Pallas Athena.
§1.401ἀλλὰ σὺ τόν γʼ ἐλθοῦσα θεὰ ὑπελύσαο δεσμῶν, §1.402ὦχʼ ἑκατόγχειρον καλέσασʼ ἐς μακρὸν Ὄλυμπον, §1.403ὃν Βριάρεων καλέουσι θεοί, ἄνδρες δέ τε πάντες §1.404Αἰγαίωνʼ, ὃ γὰρ αὖτε βίην οὗ πατρὸς ἀμείνων· §1.405ὅς ῥα παρὰ Κρονίωνι καθέζετο κύδεϊ γαίων·
But you came, goddess, and freed him from his bonds, quickly calling to high Olympus the hundred-handed monster, whom the gods call Briareus, but all men call Aegaeon; for he indeed is superior in strength even to his father; and he sat by the side of the son of Chronos, exulting in his glory."
