§15.67τοὺς ἄλλους, μετὰ δʼ υἱὸν ἐμὸν Σαρπηδόνα δῖον.
the others, and among them my own son, godlike Sarpedon.
§15.68τοῦ δὲ χολωσάμενος κτενεῖ Ἕκτορα δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς.
And for his sake shall illustrious Achilles slay Hector in anger.
§15.69ἐκ τοῦ δʼ ἄν τοι ἔπειτα παλίωξιν παρὰ νηῶν §15.70αἰὲν ἐγὼ τεύχοιμι διαμπερὲς εἰς ὅ κʼ Ἀχαιοὶ §15.71Ἴλιον αἰπὺ ἕλοιεν Ἀθηναίης διὰ βουλάς.
From that time forth I would ever cause a driving back from the ships continually, until the Achaeans shall take steep Ilium through the counsels of Athena.
§15.72τὸ πρὶν δʼ οὔτʼ ἄρʼ ἐγὼ παύω χόλον οὔτέ τινʼ ἄλλον §15.73ἀθανάτων Δαναοῖσιν ἀμυνέμεν ἐνθάδʼ ἐάσω §15.74πρίν γε τὸ Πηλεΐδαο τελευτηθῆναι ἐέλδωρ, §15.75ὥς οἱ ὑπέστην πρῶτον, ἐμῷ δʼ ἐπένευσα κάρητι, §15.76ἤματι τῷ ὅτʼ ἐμεῖο θεὰ Θέτις ἥψατο γούνων, §15.77λισσομένη τιμῆσαι Ἀχιλλῆα πτολίπορθον.
But until then I do not stay my wrath, nor will I suffer any other of the immortals to aid the Danaans here, before the desire of the son of Peleus is fulfilled, as I first promised him, and bowed my head in assent, on the day when the goddess Thetis touched my knees, beseeching me to honor Achilles, sacker of cities.
So he spoke, and the white-armed goddess Hera did not disobey, but went from the hills of Ida to high Olympus.
§15.80ὡς δʼ ὅτʼ ἂν ἀΐξῃ νόος ἀνέρος, ὅς τʼ ἐπὶ πολλὴν §15.81γαῖαν ἐληλουθὼς φρεσὶ πευκαλίμῃσι νοήσῃ §15.82ἔνθʼ εἴην ἢ ἔνθα,
μενοινήῃσί τε πολλά, §15.83ὣς κραιπνῶς μεμαυῖα διέπτατο πότνια Ἥρη·
And as when the mind of a man flies, who has traveled over much earth, and in his wise heart thinks, "Would I were here, or there," and wishes many things, so swiftly flew queen Hera in her eagerness.
§15.84ἵκετο δʼ αἰπὺν Ὄλυμπον, ὁμηγερέεσσι δʼ ἐπῆλθεν §15.85ἀθανάτοισι θεοῖσι Διὸς δόμῳ· οἳ δὲ ἰδόντες §15.86πάντες ἀνήϊξαν καὶ δεικανόωντο δέπασσιν.
And she came to steep Olympus, and found the immortal gods gathered together in the house of Zeus; and they, seeing her, all started up and welcomed her with cups.
§15.87ἣ δʼ ἄλλους μὲν ἔασε, Θέμιστι δὲ καλλιπαρῄῳ §15.88δέκτο δέπας· πρώτη γὰρ ἐναντίη ἦλθε θέουσα, §15.89καί μιν φωνήσασʼ ἔπεα πτερόεντα προσηύδα· §15.90Ἥρη τίπτε βέβηκας;
But she let the others be, and from fair-cheeked Themis accepted the cup; for she had run first to meet her, and addressing her, spoke winged words, saying: "Hera, why have you come?
ἀτυζομένῃ δὲ ἔοικας·
You seem like one distraught.
§15.91ἦ μάλα δή σʼ ἐφόβησε Κρόνου πάϊς, ὅς τοι ἀκοίτης. §15.92τὴν δʼ ἠμείβετʼ ἔπειτα θεὰ λευκώλενος Ἥρη· §15.93μή με θεὰ Θέμι ταῦτα διείρεο· οἶσθα καὶ αὐτὴ §15.94οἷος κείνου θυμὸς ὑπερφίαλος καὶ ἀπηνής.
Surely the son of Cronos, who is your husband, has terrified you." Then the white-armed goddess Hera answered her: "Do not ask me about this, goddess Themis; you yourself know how proud and unyielding is his spirit.
§15.95ἀλλὰ σύ γʼ ἄρχε θεοῖσι δόμοις ἔνι δαιτὸς ἐΐσης· §15.96ταῦτα δὲ καὶ μετὰ πᾶσιν ἀκούσεαι ἀθανάτοισιν §15.97οἷα Ζεὺς κακὰ ἔργα πιφαύσκεται·
But do you begin for the gods in the halls the equal feast; and you shall hear this, along with all the immortals, what evil deeds Zeus declares.
οὐδέ τί φημι §15.98πᾶσιν ὁμῶς θυμὸν κεχαρησέμεν, οὔτε βροτοῖσιν §15.99οὔτε θεοῖς, εἴ πέρ τις ἔτι νῦν δαίνυται εὔφρων. §15.100ἣ μὲν ἄρʼ ὣς εἰποῦσα καθέζετο πότνια Ἥρη, §15.101ὄχθησαν δʼ ἀνὰ δῶμα Διὸς θεοί·
Nor, I think, will the heart of all alike be gladdened, neither of mortals nor of gods, if indeed anyone even now feasts with a cheerful mind." Having thus spoken, queen Hera sat down, and the gods throughout the house of Zeus were troubled.
But she laughed with her lips, yet her forehead above her dark brows was not softened.
πᾶσιν δὲ νεμεσσηθεῖσα μετηύδα· §15.104νήπιοι οἳ Ζηνὶ μενεαίνομεν ἀφρονέοντες·
And being indignant at them all, she spoke: "Fools we are, who in our folly are angry with Zeus!
§15.105ἦ ἔτι μιν μέμαμεν καταπαυσέμεν ἆσσον ἰόντες §15.106ἢ ἔπει ἠὲ βίῃ· ὃ δʼ ἀφήμενος οὐκ ἀλεγίζει §15.107οὐδʼ ὄθεται· φησὶν γὰρ ἐν ἀθανάτοισι θεοῖσι §15.108κάρτεΐ τε σθένεΐ τε διακριδὸν εἶναι ἄριστος.
We still strive to check him, going near to him either with word or by force; but he sits apart and cares not, nor is he moved, for he says that among the immortal gods he is eminently the best in power and strength.
§15.109τὼ ἔχεθʼ ὅττί κεν ὔμμι κακὸν πέμπῃσιν ἑκάστῳ.
Therefore hold whatever evil he may send to each of you.
§15.110ἤδη γὰρ νῦν ἔλπομʼ Ἄρηΐ γε πῆμα τετύχθαι· §15.111υἱὸς γάρ οἱ ὄλωλε μάχῃ ἔνι φίλτατος ἀνδρῶν §15.112Ἀσκάλαφος, τόν φησιν ὃν ἔμμεναι ὄβριμος Ἄρης. §15.113ὣς ἔφατʼ, αὐτὰρ Ἄρης θαλερὼ πεπλήγετο μηρὼ §15.114χερσὶ καταπρηνέσσʼ, ὀλοφυρόμενος δʼ ἔπος ηὔδα· §15.115μὴ νῦν μοι νεμεσήσετʼ Ὀλύμπια δώματʼ ἔχοντες §15.116τίσασθαι φόνον υἷος ἰόντʼ ἐπὶ νῆας Ἀχαιῶν, §15.117εἴ πέρ μοι καὶ μοῖρα Διὸς πληγέντι κεραυνῷ §15.118κεῖσθαι ὁμοῦ νεκύεσσι μεθʼ αἵματι καὶ κονίῃσιν. §15.119ὣς φάτο, καί ῥʼ ἵππους κέλετο Δεῖμόν τε Φόβον τε §15.120ζευγνύμεν, αὐτὸς δʼ ἔντεʼ ἐδύσετο παμφανόωντα.
For already now, I think, a sorrow has been wrought for Ares; since his son has perished in the fight, the dearest of men, Ascalaphus, whom mighty Ares says is his own." So she spoke, and Ares smote his sturdy thighs with flat hands, and with lamentation spoke: "Do not now be angry with me, you who hold Olympian homes, if I go to the ships of the Achaeans to avenge the death of my son, even if it is my fate, struck by the thunderbolt of Zeus, to lie together with the dead in blood and dust." So he spoke, and bade Deimos and Phobos yoke his horses, and himself put on his shining armor.
§15.121ἔνθά κʼ ἔτι μείζων τε καὶ ἀργαλεώτερος ἄλλος §15.122πὰρ Διὸς ἀθανάτοισι χόλος καὶ μῆνις ἐτύχθη, §15.123εἰ μὴ Ἀθήνη πᾶσι περιδείσασα θεοῖσιν §15.124ὦρτο διὲκ προθύρου, λίπε δὲ θρόνον ἔνθα θάασσε, §15.125τοῦ δʼ ἀπὸ μὲν κεφαλῆς κόρυθʼ εἵλετο καὶ σάκος ὤμων, §15.126ἔγχος δʼ ἔστησε στιβαρῆς ἀπὸ χειρὸς ἑλοῦσα §15.127χάλκεον· ἣ δʼ ἐπέεσσι καθάπτετο θοῦρον Ἄρηα· §15.128μαινόμενε φρένας ἠλὲ διέφθορας·
Then would another even greater and more painful wrath and anger from Zeus have been wrought against the immortals, had not Athena, fearing for all the gods, rushed out through the vestibule, and left the throne where she sat, and from his head took the helmet, and the shield from his shoulders, and took the bronze spear from his strong hand and set it down, and with words rebuked impetuous Ares: "Madman, distraught in mind, you are destroyed!
ἦ νύ τοι αὔτως §15.129οὔατʼ ἀκουέμεν ἐστί, νόος δʼ ἀπόλωλε καὶ αἰδώς.
Surely in vain have you ears to hear, and your intelligence and shame are gone.
Do you not hear what the white-armed goddess Hera says, who has even now come from Olympian Zeus?
§15.132ἦ ἐθέλεις αὐτὸς μὲν ἀναπλήσας κακὰ πολλὰ
Or do you wish, having yourself filled up the measure of many evils,
