Ἤτοι ὅ γ' ὡς εἰπὼν κατ' ὰρ ἕζετο: τοῖσι δ' ἀνέστη
Νέστωρ, ὅς ῥα Πύλοιο ἄναξ ἦν ἠμαθόεντος.
ὅ σφιν. ἔϋ φρονέων ἀγορήσατο καὶ μετέειπεν:
ὦ φίλοι Ἀργείων ἡγήτορες ἠδὲ μέδοντες:
εἰ μέν τις τὸν ὄνειρον Ἀχαιῶν ἄλλος ἔνισπε.
ψεῦδός κεν φαῖμεν καὶ νοσφιζοίμεθα μᾶλλον:
νῦν δ' ἴδεν. ὃς μέγ' ἄριστος Ἀχαιῶν εὔχεται εἶναι:
ἀλλ' ἄγετ' αἴ κέν πως θωρήξομεν υἷας Ἀχαιῶν.
So saying, he sate him down, and among them uprose Nestor, that was king of sandy Pylos. He with good intent addressed their gathering and spake among them: "My friends, leaders and rulers of the Argives, were it any other of the Achaeans that told us this dream we might deem it a false thing, and turn away therefrom the more; but now hath he seen it who declares himself to be far the mightiest of the Achaeans. Nay, come then, if in any wise we may arm the sons of the Achaeans."
