ἀλλ᾽ ὁ μὲν Αἰθίοπας μετεκίαθε τηλόθ᾽ ἐόντας ,
Αἰθίοπας τοὶ διχθὰ δεδαίαται , ἔσχατοι ἀνδρῶν ,
οἱ μὲν δυσομένου Ὑπερίονος οἱ δ᾽ ἀνιόντος ,
ἀντιόων ταύρων τε καὶ ἀρνειῶν ἑκατόμβης .
ἔνθ᾽ ὅ γ᾽ ἐτέρπετο δαιτὶ παρήμενος : οἱ δὲ δὴ ἄλλοι
Ζηνὸς ἐνὶ μεγάροισιν Ὀλυμπίου ἁθρόοι ἦσαν .
τοῖσι δὲ μύθων ἦρχε πατὴρ ἀνδρῶν τε θεῶν τε :
μνήσατο γὰρ κατὰ θυμὸν ἀμύμονος Αἰγίσθοιο ,
τόν ῥ᾽ Ἀγαμεμνονίδης τηλεκλυτὸς ἔκταν᾽ Ὀρέστης :
τοῦ ὅ γ᾽ ἐπιμνησθεὶς ἔπε᾽ ἀθανάτοισι μετηύδα :

Nevertheless
,
going
among
the
far
off
Ethiopians--
those Ethiopians divided in two , most far off of men ,
some where Hyperion sets and some where he rises--
receiving a hecatomb of bulls and of rams .
There he sat at the feast , enjoying himself : but the others
were together in the great halls of Olympian Zeus .
And Zeus , father of both men and gods , was first to speak :
for he remembered in his heart faultless Aegisthus ,
whom Agamemnon ' s son , far-famed Orestes , killed :
Having been reminded of him , Zeus spoke to the immortals :
