nequis humasse velit Aiacem , Atrida , vetas cur ?
' rex sum . ' nil ultra quaero plebeius . ' et aequam
rem imperito , ac sicui videor non iustus , inulto
dicere quod sentit permitto . ' maxime regum ,
Di tibi dent capta classem redducere Troia .
ergo consulere et mox respondere licebit ?
' consule . ' cur Aiax , heros ab Achille secundus ,
putescit , totiens servatis clarus achivis ,
gaudeat ut populus Priami Priamusque inhumato ,
per quem tot iuvenes patrio caruere sepulcro ?
' mille ovium insanus morti dedit , inclitum Ulixen
et Menelaum una mecum se occidere clamans . '
tu cum pro vitula statuis dulcem Aulide natam
ante aras spargisque mola caput , inprobe , salsa ,
rectum animi servas ? ' quorsum ? ' insanus quid enim Aiax
fecit ? cum stravit ferro pecus , abstinuit vim
uxore et gnato ; mala multa precatus atridis
non ille aut Teucrum aut ipsum violavit Ulixen .
' verum ego , ut haerentis adverso litore navis
eriperem , prudens placavi sanguine Divos . '
nempe tuo , furiose ? ' meo , sed non furiosus . '
qui species alias veris scelerisque tumultu
permixtas capiet , commotus habebitur atque
stultitiane erret nihilum distabit an ira .
Aiax inmeritos cum occidit desipit agnos :
cum prudens scelus ob titulos admittis inanis ,
stas animo et purum est vitio tibi cum tumidum est cor ?
siquis lectica nitidam gestare amet agnam ,
huic vestem ut gnatae , paret ancillas , paret aurum ,
Pusam aut Pusillam appellet fortique marito
destinet uxorem : interdicto huic omne adimat ius
praetor et ad sanos abeat tutela propinquos .
quid , siquis gnatam pro muta devovet agna ,
integer est animi ? ne dixeris . ergo ubi prava
stultitia , hic summa est insania ; qui sceleratus ,
et furiosus erit ; quem cepit vitrea fama ,
hunc circumtonuit gaudens Bellona cruentis .
Son of Atreus , why do you deny anyone who wishes to bury Ajax ? " I am the king . " Nothing further I , a plebeian , inquire . " And I command an evenhanded thing , and if to anyone I do not seem just , I permit that he speak unpunished what he thinks . " Greatest of kings , may the gods grant to you that the fleet return with Troy having been captured . Therefore will it not be permitted to consult and soon to respond ? " Ask . " Why does Ajax , a hero second to Achilles , rot , famous with so many times the Acheans having been saved , such that the people of Priam and Priam may rejoice with the man unburied , through whom so many young men have been deprived of their fatherland’s burial rite ? " The insane man gave a thousand of sheep to death , shouting that he kills illustrious Ulysses and Menelaus as one with me . " When you hold up your sweet daughter in place of a heifer before the altar at Aulus and sprinkle the head , wicked one , with salty ground meal , do you protect the right thing ? " To what end ? " Truly what thing did insane Ajax do ? When he demolished the flock with iron , he held back violence from his wife and child ; having beseeched many bad things to the Atreids , that man did not violate either Teucer or Ulysses himself . " Truly I , in order that I might break out the ships clinging onto an adverse shore , being prudent placated the Gods with blood . " No doubt by yours , madman ? " With mine , but not maddened . " One who takes appearances other than true ones and mixed through with turmoil will be held disturbed , and nothing will stand apart whether he errs because of folly or because of wrath . Ajax when he kills the undeserving sheep is foolish : when you being prudent confess a crime on account of empty titles , do you stand in mind and is the heart to you pure when it is swollen with vice ? If anyone should love to carry a plump lamb on a sedan , should prepare for it clothing as for a daughter , prepare handmaidens , prepare gold , call it Pusa or Pusilla and secure it as wife to a brave husband : for this forbidden thing the praetor would remove every right and would pass guardianship toward the sane relatives . What , if anyone dedicates a daughter in place of a dumb lamb , is he sound of mind ? Do not say . Therefore where there is crooked foolishness , here insanity is highest ; who is wicked , also will be maddened ; he whom glassy fame has taken , this man Bellona thundered around rejoicing due to the gore .

νικᾷ γὰρ ἁρετή με τῆς ἔχθρας πολύ .
And truly I urged seeing this general Agamemnon advancing to us hither :
and it is clear to me he will be letting loose a clumsy tongue .

They announce to me that you indeed dare to utter terrible words against us thus unpunished ;
you , let me tell you , the one I say born from the slave-girl .
Verily perhaps if you were reared by a well-born mother you would boast lofty things and stride among the highest , when being no one you have taken a stand above the one who is nothing ,
and you solemnly swore to follow neither generals nor admirals of the Achaeans over you
but as his own man commanding , as you say , Ajax was sailing .
Are these not great evils to hear from slaves ?
You have clamored an arrogant speech for what kind of man thus ? Striding where or standing where which I did not ? Are there no men to the Achaeans except this one ?
Bitter contests we have been like to herald to the Argives then for the arms of Achilles , if from Teucer we are seen everywhere as evil men , and it will not ever be of aid to you , being defeated , to say things which would satisfy the many judges , but always you either will strike with evil words , methinks , or together by craft having been left behind would stab .
Out of these turns to be sure would not become an establishment , of not one law , if we will thrust the ones having prevailed aside and drive the ones behind into the spot ahead . But there is a need that this be stopped .
For not the wide men nor broad-backed men are least fallible , but the ones thinking well are altogether strong . Great-ribbed oxen nevertheless by a small whip are marched straight into the road .
And to you I foresee this medicine approaching swiftly , if you do not acquire some sense : you a man who lacking fear insults and is very free of speech , the man being nothing but already a shadow .
Will you not be wise ? Not understanding who you are will you bring some other nature hither , a free man , one who will speak before us instead of you your matters ? For you speaking I could not understand any longer : for I will not bewail the barbarian tongue .

If to you both would become that the minds think wisely : for than this I have not one thing more agreeable to say .

Alas , how swiftly some favor by mortals wastes away from the one having died and is caught betraying , if this man among not even small word of you , Ajax , yet holds in memory , for whom you many times labored exposing your soul to the spear : but all these things cast away are lost .
Oh you who said just now many words without thought , do you not remember any longer the affair , when you having been enclosed somewhere by fences , already being nothing , in the turn of the spear he coming alone saved you , both on the one hand with fire already blazing on the high sea-decks of the ships , and on the other hand into the ship hulls with Hector leaping elevated high above the trench ?
What man warded off these things ? Was it not this man , the one doing these , whom you say did not stride anywhere by foot , where you did not ? Did this man accomplish these things justly , for you ?
And when again this man alone came against Hector alone , taking as his lost and unbidden , no runaway the lot he let fall into the middle , a wet lump of earth , but which of a well-plumed helm was about to make a light leap first ? This man was the one doing these things , and I together being near , the slave , who was born from a barbarian mother .
Disastrous man , whither looking do you ever utter aloud such things ? Have you not known on the one hand that the father , Pelops , who begot your father , was originally a barbarian Phrygian ? And that Atreus , who anew engendered you , a most impious feast of the household children presented to his brother ?
While on the other you yourself from a Cretan mother grew , upon whom the begetting father noticing a foreign man sent her as prey for the dumb fishes . Does such a man as you upbraid the lineage for such as me ? I who am coming from the father Telamon , who being foremost the best of the army holds my mother as spouse , who by birth was the princess of Laomedon : and
the child of Alcmene gave her as a selected gift to that man . Thus a noble descended from two nobles should I tarnish the man from my bloodline , whom laid low in such works now you forced unburied , and are not ashamed to say ?
Know well now this , if you throw out this man anywhere , you throw out also us three lying together with him . Since beautiful it is for me laboring for this man to die , clear before men’s eyes , rather than for your woman , or indeed I say for your brother’s ? For these things see not mine , but also yours : if thus you ruin me , you will at some point wish to be also a fearful man rather than brave to me .

Lord Odysseus , know that you have come at the right moment , if you arrive not to join , but to resolve .

And what goes , men ? for I perceived from afar the shout of the Atreides at this brave corpse .

For are we not , hearing shameful words , by this man just now ?

What words ? For I hold to a man forbearance who joins battle hearing evil trivialities .

He heard shameful things : for he was doing the very same to me .

For what did he do to you so as to hold even harm ?

He says that he will not suffer this corpse without the lot of burial , but that he will honor it with burial in the face of my might .

Therefore is it permitted for a friend speaking truths to you to work with you not a bit less than before ?

Speak : for I would be not thinking well , since I allot you greatest friend of the Atreids .

Now listen . Do not suffer to strike this man in face of the gods thus ruthlessly : nor should any force prevail over you that you hate this man so as to tread on justice . For also to me was this man ever the most hateful of the army , from whom I was champion of the Achillean arms , but I would not dishonor this man being like that to me , so as to say that I did not see him the best man of the Argives , we who arrived at Troy , except Achilles .
As a result he would not be dishonored justly by you . For you would ruin not this man , but the laws of the gods . And it is not just to harm a noble man if he should die , and not if you should happen to hate him .

Do you fight these things for this man against me ?

I : and I was hating , when it was noble to hate .

For is it necessary that not also walk forward on the man having died ?

Do not rejoice , Atreides , in unprofitable good things .

Not easy is it to be righteous as a monarch , let me tell you .

But they speak well that one dispense honors to their friends .

It is good that the noble man listen to the ones in rule .

Stop : you hold power , I tell you , being conquered by your friends .

Be mindful to what sort of man you give grace .

This man was an enemy , but he was at some point noble .

What ever will you do ? Do you respect this hostile corpse ?

For his excellence conquers me much more than his hostility .
