ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε , μοῦσα , πολύτροπον , ὃς μάλα πολλὰ
πλάγχθη , ἐπεὶ Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον ἔπερσεν :
πολλῶν δ᾽ ἀνθρώπων ἴδεν ἄστεα καὶ νόον ἔγνω ,
πολλὰ δ᾽ ὅ γ᾽ ἐν πόντῳ πάθεν ἄλγεα ὃν κατὰ θυμόν ,
5ἀρνύμενος ἥν τε ψυχὴν καὶ νόστον ἑταίρων .
ἀλλ᾽ οὐδ᾽ ὣς ἑτάρους ἐρρύσατο , ἱέμενός περ :
αὐτῶν γὰρ σφετέρῃσιν ἀτασθαλίῃσιν ὄλοντο ,
νήπιοι , οἳ κατὰ βοῦς Ὑπερίονος Ἠελίοιο
ἤσθιον : αὐτὰρ ὁ τοῖσιν ἀφείλετο νόστιμον ἦμαρ .
τῶν ἁμόθεν γε , θεά , θύγατερ Διός , εἰπὲ καὶ ἡμῖν .

Tell
me
,
O
Muse
,
of
the
man
of
many
devices
,
who
wandered
full
many
ways
after
he
had
sacked
the
sacred
citadel
of
Troy
.
Many
were
the
men
whose
cities
he
saw
and
whose
mind
he
learned
,
aye
,
and
many
the
woes
he
suffered
in
his
heart
upon
the
sea
,
seeking
to
win
his
own
life
and
the
return
of
his
comrades
.
Yet
even
so
he
saved
not
his
comrades
,
though
he
desired
it
sore
,
for
through
their
own
blind
folly
they
perished—fools
,
who
devoured
the
kine
of
Helios
Hyperion
;
but
he
took
from
them
the
day
of
their
returning
.
