ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε , μοῦσα , πολύτροπον , ὃς μάλα πολλὰ
πλάγχθη , ἐπεὶ Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον ἔπερσεν :
πολλῶν δ᾽ ἀνθρώπων ἴδεν ἄστεα καὶ νόον ἔγνω ,
πολλὰ δ᾽ γ᾽ ἐν πόντῳ πάθεν ἄλγεα ὃν κατὰ θυμόν ,
ἀρνύμενος 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 τοῖσιν ἀφείλετο νόστιμον ἦμαρ .
τῶν ἁμόθεν γε , θεά , θύγατερ Διός , εἰπὲ καὶ ἡμῖν .
Sing to me of the man , Muse , the man of twists and turns
driven time and again off course , once he had plundered
the hallowed heights of Troy .
Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds ,
many pains he suffered , heartsick on the open sea ,
fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home .
But he could not save them from disaster , hard as he strove-
the recklessness of their own ways destroyed them all ,
the blind fools , they devoured the cattle of the Sun
and the Sungod wiped from sight the day of their return .
Launch out on his story , Muse , daughter of Zeus ,
start from where you will- sing for our time too .
The man for wisdom’s various arts renown’d ,
Long exercised in woes , O Muse ! resound ;
Who , when his arms had wrought the destined fall
Of sacred Troy , and razed her heaven-built wall ,
Wandering from clime to clime , observant stray’d ,
Their manners noted , and their states survey’d ,
On stormy seas unnumber’d toils he bore ,
Safe with his friends to gain his natal shore :
Vain toils ! their impious folly dared to prey
On herds devoted to the god of day ;
The god vindictive doom’d them never more
( Ah , men unbless’d ! ) to touch that natal shore .
Oh , snatch some portion of these acts from fate ,
Celestial Muse ! and to our world relate .
