Achilles ' baneful wrath resound , O Goddess , that imposed
Infinite sorrows on the Greeks , and many brave souls losed
From breasts heroic ; sent them far to that invisible cave
That no light comforts ; and their limbs to dogs and vultures gave
To all whom Jove ' s will gave effect ; from whom first strife begun
Betwixt Atrides , king of men , and Thetis ' godlike son .
What god gave Eris their command , and oped that fighting vein ?
Jove ' s and Latona ' s son ; who fired against the king of men ,
For contumely shown his priest , infectious sickness sent
To plague the army , and to death by troops the soldiers went .

Ἀχιλῆος
οὐλομένην , ἣ μυρί᾽ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε᾽ ἔθηκε ,
πολλὰς δ᾽ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν
ἡρώων , αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν
οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι , Διὸς δ᾽ ἐτελείετο βουλή ,
ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε
Ἀτρεΐδης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς .
τίς τ᾽ ἄρ σφωε θεῶν ἔριδι ξυνέηκε μάχεσθαι ;
Λητοῦς καὶ Διὸς υἱός : ὃ γὰρ βασιλῆϊ χολωθεὶς
νοῦσον ἀνὰ στρατὸν ὄρσε κακήν , ὀλέκοντο δὲ λαοί
οὕνεκα τὸν Χρύσην ἠτίμασεν ἀρητῆρα
