μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος
οὐλομένην , ἣ μυρίʼ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγεʼ ἔθηκε ,
πολλὰς δʼ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν
ἡρώων , αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν
οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι , Διὸς δʼ ἐτελείετο βουλή ,
ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε
Ἀτρεΐδης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς .

the
godlike
wrath
of
Achilles
,
son
of
Peleus
,
that sociopathic wrath that caused countless pains for the Achaeans .
It hurled to Hades many precious lives
of warriors . And it began to make their bodies into picked-over scraps for dogs
and for birds , all of them ; and the plan of Zeus began to be fulfilled ,
from the point where first , the two having both begun a competition with each other , both of them faced off ,
the son of Atreus , lord of men , and god-like Achilles .
