μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος
οὐλομένην , ἣ μυρί᾽ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε᾽ ἔθηκε ,
πολλὰς δ᾽ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν
ἡρώων , αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν
5οἰωνοῖσί 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
10νοῦσον ἀνὰ στρατὸν ὄρσε κακήν , ὀλέκοντο δὲ λαοί ,

The
wrath
sing
,
goddess
,
of
Peleus
'
son
,
Achilles
,
that
destructive
wrath
which
brought
countless
woes
upon
the
Achaeans
,
and
sent
forth
to
Hades
many
valiant
souls
of
heroes
,
and
made
them
themselves
spoil
for
dogs
and
every
bird
;
thus
the
plan
of
Zeus
came
to
fulfillment
,
from
the
time
when1
first
they
parted
in
strife
Atreus
'
son
,
king
of
men
,
and
brilliant
Achilles
.
Who
then
of
the
gods
was
it
that
brought
these
two
together
to
contend
?
The
son
of
Leto
and
Zeus
;
for
he
in
anger
against
the
king
roused
throughout
the
host
an
evil
pestilence
,
and
the
people
began
to
perish
,
