§2.578λαοὶ ἕποντʼ· ἐν δʼ αὐτὸς ἐδύσετο νώροπα χαλκὸν §2.579κυδιόων, πᾶσιν δὲ μετέπρεπεν ἡρώεσσιν §2.580οὕνεκʼ ἄριστος ἔην πολὺ δὲ πλείστους ἄγε λαούς.
the host followed; and among them he himself put on his gleaming bronze, proud, and pre-eminent among all the heroes, because he was the best and led by far the most host.
§2.581οἳ δʼ εἶχον κοίλην Λακεδαίμονα κητώεσσαν, §2.582Φᾶρίν τε Σπάρτην τε πολυτρήρωνά τε Μέσσην, §2.583Βρυσειάς τʼ ἐνέμοντο καὶ Αὐγειὰς ἐρατεινάς, §2.584οἵ τʼ ἄρʼ Ἀμύκλας εἶχον Ἕλος τʼ ἔφαλον πτολίεθρον, §2.585οἵ τε Λάαν εἶχον ἠδʼ Οἴτυλον ἀμφενέμοντο, §2.586τῶν οἱ ἀδελφεὸς ἦρχε βοὴν ἀγαθὸς Μενέλαος §2.587ἑξήκοντα νεῶν· ἀπάτερθε δὲ θωρήσσοντο·
And they who held Lacedaemon, deep and full of clefts, Pharis, and Sparta, and Messa, the haunt of many doves, and they who dwelt in Bryseiae and lovely Augeiae, and they who held Amyclae and Helos, the city by the sea, and they who held Laas and they who dwelt about Oetylus, these were led by his brother, Menelaus, good at the war-cry, with sixty ships; and they were armed apart.
§2.588ἐν δʼ αὐτὸς κίεν ᾗσι προθυμίῃσι πεποιθὼς §2.589ὀτρύνων πόλεμον δέ· μάλιστα δὲ ἵετο θυμῷ §2.590τίσασθαι Ἑλένης ὁρμήματά τε στοναχάς τε.
And among them he himself went, trusting in his own zeal, urging them to war; and most of all he was eager in his heart to avenge the sorrow and groans of Helen.
§2.591οἳ δὲ Πύλον τʼ ἐνέμοντο καὶ Ἀρήνην ἐρατεινὴν §2.592καὶ Θρύον Ἀλφειοῖο πόρον καὶ ἐΰκτιτον Αἰπὺ §2.593καὶ Κυπαρισσήεντα καὶ Ἀμφιγένειαν ἔναιον §2.594καὶ Πτελεὸν καὶ Ἕλος καὶ Δώριον, ἔνθά τε Μοῦσαι §2.595ἀντόμεναι Θάμυριν τὸν Θρήϊκα παῦσαν ἀοιδῆς §2.596Οἰχαλίηθεν ἰόντα παρʼ Εὐρύτου Οἰχαλιῆος· §2.597στεῦτο γὰρ εὐχόμενος νικησέμεν εἴ περ ἂν αὐταὶ §2.598Μοῦσαι ἀείδοιεν κοῦραι Διὸς αἰγιόχοιο·
And they who dwelt in Pylos, and lovely Arene, and Thryon, the ford of Alpheius, and well-built Aipy, and they who dwelt in Cyparisseis and Amphigeneia, and Pteleon, and Helos, and Dorion, where the Muses met Thamyris the Thracian and put an end to his song, as he was journeying from Echalia from Eurytus of Echalia; for he boasted and declared that he would win even if the Muses themselves, daughters of aegis-bearing Zeus, should sing.
§2.599αἳ δὲ χολωσάμεναι πηρὸν θέσαν, αὐτὰρ ἀοιδὴν §2.600θεσπεσίην ἀφέλοντο καὶ ἐκλέλαθον κιθαριστύν· §2.601τῶν αὖθʼ ἡγεμόνευε Γερήνιος ἱππότα Νέστωρ· §2.602τῷ δʼ ἐνενήκοντα γλαφυραὶ νέες ἐστιχόωντο.
And they in anger made him blind, and took away his wondrous song and made him forget his playing of the lyre; these again Gerenian horseman Nestor led; and with him ninety hollow ships went in order.
§2.603οἳ δʼ ἔχον Ἀρκαδίην ὑπὸ Κυλλήνης ὄρος αἰπὺ §2.604Αἰπύτιον παρὰ τύμβον ἵνʼ ἀνέρες ἀγχιμαχηταί, §2.605οἳ Φενεόν τʼ ἐνέμοντο καὶ Ὀρχομενὸν πολύμηλον §2.606Ῥίπην τε Στρατίην τε καὶ ἠνεμόεσσαν Ἐνίσπην §2.607καὶ Τεγέην εἶχον καὶ Μαντινέην ἐρατεινὴν §2.608Στύμφηλόν τʼ εἶχον καὶ Παρρασίην ἐνέμοντο, §2.609τῶν ἦρχʼ Ἀγκαίοιο πάϊς κρείων Ἀγαπήνωρ §2.610ἑξήκοντα νεῶν· πολέες δʼ ἐν νηῒ ἑκάστῃ §2.611Ἀρκάδες ἄνδρες ἔβαινον ἐπιστάμενοι πολεμίζειν.
And they who held Arcadia beneath the steep mountain of Cyllene, by the tomb of Aepytus, where are men who fight hand-to-hand, they who dwelt in Pheneus and Orchomenus, rich in sheep, and Rhipe, and Stratie, and windy Enispe, and they who held Tegea and lovely Mantineia, and they who held Stymphalus and they who dwelt in Parrhasia, these were led by Ancaeus' son, lord Agapenor, with sixty ships; and many Arcadian men, skilled in war, embarked on each ship.
§2.612αὐτὸς γάρ σφιν δῶκεν ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν Ἀγαμέμνων §2.613νῆας ἐϋσσέλμους περάαν ἐπὶ οἴνοπα πόντον §2.614Ἀτρεΐδης, ἐπεὶ οὔ σφι θαλάσσια ἔργα μεμήλει.
For Agamemnon himself, lord of men, son of Atreus, had given them well-benched ships to cross the wine-dark sea, since they had no care for the works of the sea.
§2.615οἳ δʼ ἄρα Βουπράσιόν τε καὶ Ἤλιδα δῖαν ἔναιον §2.616ὅσσον ἐφʼ Ὑρμίνη καὶ Μύρσινος ἐσχατόωσα §2.617πέτρη τʼ Ὠλενίη καὶ Ἀλήσιον ἐντὸς ἐέργει, §2.618τῶν αὖ τέσσαρες ἀρχοὶ ἔσαν, δέκα δʼ ἀνδρὶ ἑκάστῳ §2.619νῆες ἕποντο θοαί, πολέες δʼ ἔμβαινον Ἐπειοί.
And they who dwelt in Buprasion and divine Elis, as much as Hyrmine and Myrsinus on the frontier and the Olenian rock and Alesion enclose within, of these again there were four leaders, and ten swift ships followed each man, and many Epeians embarked.
§2.620τῶν μὲν ἄρʼ Ἀμφίμαχος καὶ Θάλπιος ἡγησάσθην §2.621υἷες ὃ μὲν Κτεάτου, ὃ δʼ ἄρʼ Εὐρύτου, Ἀκτορίωνε· §2.622τῶν δʼ Ἀμαρυγκεΐδης ἦρχε κρατερὸς Διώρης· §2.623τῶν δὲ τετάρτων ἦρχε Πολύξεινος θεοειδὴς §2.624υἱὸς Ἀγασθένεος Αὐγηϊάδαο ἄνακτος.
Of these indeed Amphimachus and Thalpius led, sons, the one of Cteatus, the other of Eurytus, sons of Actor; and of others the strong Diores, son of Amarynceus, was leader; and of the fourth group led godlike Polyxeinus, son of king Agasthenes, son of Augeias.
§2.625οἳ δʼ ἐκ Δουλιχίοιο Ἐχινάων θʼ ἱεράων §2.626νήσων, αἳ ναίουσι πέρην ἁλὸς Ἤλιδος ἄντα, §2.627τῶν αὖθʼ ἡγεμόνευε Μέγης ἀτάλαντος Ἄρηϊ §2.628Φυλεΐδης, ὃν τίκτε Διῒ φίλος ἱππότα Φυλεύς, §2.629ὅς ποτε Δουλίχιον δʼ ἀπενάσσατο πατρὶ χολωθείς· §2.630τῷ δʼ ἅμα τεσσαράκοντα μέλαιναι νῆες ἕποντο.
And they who came from Dulichium and the sacred Echinades, the islands that dwell across the sea, opposite Elis, these again were led by Meges, peer of Ares, son of Phyleus, whom the horseman Phyleus, dear to Zeus, begot, who once removed to Dulichium, being wroth with his father; and with him followed forty black ships.
§2.631αὐτὰρ Ὀδυσσεὺς ἦγε Κεφαλλῆνας μεγαθύμους, §2.632οἵ ῥʼ Ἰθάκην εἶχον καὶ Νήριτον εἰνοσίφυλλον §2.633καὶ Κροκύλειʼ ἐνέμοντο καὶ Αἰγίλιπα τρηχεῖαν, §2.634οἵ τε Ζάκυνθον ἔχον ἠδʼ οἳ Σάμον ἀμφενέμοντο, §2.635οἵ τʼ ἤπειρον ἔχον ἠδʼ ἀντιπέραιʼ ἐνέμοντο· §2.636τῶν μὲν Ὀδυσσεὺς ἦρχε Διὶ μῆτιν ἀτάλαντος· §2.637τῷ δʼ ἅμα νῆες ἕποντο δυώδεκα μιλτοπάρῃοι.
But Odysseus led the great-hearted Cephallenians, who held Ithaca and Neriton with quivering leafage, and they who dwelt in Crocyleia and rugged Aegilips, and they who held Zacynthus and they who dwelt about Samos, and they who held the mainland and dwelt on the opposite shore; these Odysseus led, peer of Zeus in counsel; and with him followed twelve ships with red prows.
§2.638Αἰτωλῶν δʼ ἡγεῖτο Θόας Ἀνδραίμονος υἱός, §2.639οἳ Πλευρῶνʼ ἐνέμοντο καὶ Ὤλενον ἠδὲ Πυλήνην §2.640Χαλκίδα τʼ ἀγχίαλον Καλυδῶνά τε πετρήεσσαν· §2.641οὐ γὰρ ἔτʼ Οἰνῆος μεγαλήτορος υἱέες ἦσαν, §2.642οὐδʼ ἄρʼ ἔτʼ αὐτὸς ἔην, θάνε δὲ ξανθὸς Μελέαγρος· §2.643τῷ δʼ ἐπὶ πάντʼ ἐτέταλτο ἀνασσέμεν Αἰτωλοῖσι· §2.644τῷ δʼ ἅμα τεσσαράκοντα μέλαιναι νῆες ἕποντο.
And of the Aetolians Thoas, son of Andraemon, was leader, they who dwelt in Pleuron, and Olenus, and Pylene, and Chalcis by the sea, and rocky Calydon; for no longer were the sons of great-hearted Oeneus living, nor was he himself any longer alive, and fair-haired Meleager was dead; and to Thoas was entrusted all the charge to rule over the Aetolians; and with him followed forty black ships.
§2.645Κρητῶν δʼ Ἰδομενεὺς δουρὶ κλυτὸς ἡγεμόνευεν, §2.646οἳ Κνωσόν τʼ εἶχον Γόρτυνά τε τειχιόεσσαν, §2.647Λύκτον Μίλητόν τε καὶ ἀργινόεντα Λύκαστον §2.648Φαιστόν τε Ῥύτιόν τε, πόλεις εὖ ναιετοώσας, §2.649ἄλλοι θʼ οἳ Κρήτην ἑκατόμπολιν ἀμφενέμοντο.
And of the Cretans Idomeneus, famous with the spear, was leader, they who held Cnossus and Gortyn of the great walls, Lyctus, and Miletus, and chalky Lycastus, and Phaestus, and Rhytion, well-inhabited cities, and others who dwelt about Crete of the hundred cities.
§2.650τῶν μὲν ἄρʼ Ἰδομενεὺς δουρὶ κλυτὸς ἡγεμόνευε §2.651Μηριόνης τʼ ἀτάλαντος Ἐνυαλίῳ ἀνδρειφόντῃ· §2.652τοῖσι δʼ ἅμʼ ὀγδώκοντα μέλαιναι νῆες ἕποντο.
Of these indeed Idomeneus, famous with the spear, was leader, and Meriones, peer of Enyalius, slayer of men; and with them followed eighty black ships.
