οἵαν ἐδήλωσας ἀνέρος αἴθονος
ἀγγελίαν ἄτλατον οὐδὲ φευκτάν ,
τῶν μεγάλων Δαναῶν ὕπο κλῃζομέναν , 225
τὰν μέγας μῦθος ἀέξει .
οἴμοι φοβοῦμαι τὸ προσέρπον · περίφαντος ἁνὴρ
θανεῖται , παραπλάκτῳ χερὶ συγκατακτὰς
κελαινοῖς ξίφεσιν βοτὰ καὶ βοτῆρας ἱππονώμας .

ὥρα τιν᾽ ἤδη τοι κρᾶτα καλύμμασι 245
κρυψάμενον ποδοῖν κλοπὰν ἀρέσθαι
θοὸν εἰρεσίας ζυγὸν ἑζόμενον
ποντοπόρῳ ναῒ μεθεῖναι . 250
τοίας ἐρέσσουσιν ἀπειλὰς δικρατεῖς Ἀτρεῖδαι
καθ᾽ ἡμῶν · πεφόβημαι λιθόλευστον Ἄρη
ξυναλγεῖν μετὰ τοῦδε τυπείς , τὸν αἶσ᾽ ἄπλατος ἴσχει .
Of what sort do you reveal of the fiery man
tidings , not to be borne and not to be avoided ,
above the great Danaans having been held glorious ,
which the great speech increases .
Oimoi , I fear the thing approaching : seen-around the man
will die , in the frenzy-stricken hand slaughtering
with a dark sword grazing beasts and herdsmen guiding .

Some fitting time already the head with a veil
having been hidden by feet a theft to take up
or on nimble bench of rowers having been seated
by a sea-faring ship to set loose .
Such threats they put in motion , the jointly-ruling Atreides ,
against us : I have been seized with fear stoned Ares
to share in suffering with this man struck , this man a dispensation monstrous holds .
What tidings do you reveal , unbearable yet unavoidable , of the fiery man considered glorious by the great Danaans , his fame exalted by rumor . Oimoi , I fear what comes : in the eyes of all the man will die , having slaughtered flocks and their herdsmen with a darkened sword in his maddened hand .

Now is the time that he veil his head and steal away , or sitting on the oar bench free himself by a seafaring ship . The Atreids , ruling together , threaten us such that I fear ruin by stoning , struck together with this man whom a monstrous fate holds .
