Homer, Iliad, 1.206-209
Jan. 21st, 2012 10:58 amτὸν δ᾽ αὖτε προσέειπε θεὰ γλαυκῶπις Ἀθήνη:
ἦλθον ἐγὼ παύσουσα τὸ σὸν μένος, αἴ κε πίθηαι,
οὐρανόθεν: πρὸ δέ μ᾽ ἧκε θεὰ λευκώλενος Ἥρη
ἄμφω ὁμῶς θυμῷ φιλέουσά τε κηδομένη τε:
Him she addressed, bright-eyed goddess Athena:
"From heaven I came intending to stop your passion, if you'll obey:
white-armed goddess Hera sent me to
you both, loving you equally in her heart, and being troubled..."
And now I'm off to strike the air.
