ὡς φάθ', ὁ δὲ ξυνέηκε θεᾶς ὄπα φωνησάσης:
βῆ δὲ θέειν: ἀπὸ δὲ χλαῖναν βάλε. τὴν δ' κόμισσε
κῆρυξ Εὐρυβάτης Ἰ̈θακήσιος, ὅς οἱ ὀπήδει:
αὐτὸς δ' Ἀτρείδεω Ἀγαμέμνονος ἀντίος ἐλθὼν
δέξατό οἱ σκῆπτρον πατρώϊον ἄφθιτον αἰεί:
σὺν τῷ ἔβη κατὰ νῆας Ἀχαιῶν χαλκοχιτώνων:
So said she, and he knew the voice of the goddess as she spake, and set him to run, and cast from him his cloak, which his herald gathered up, even Eurybates of Ithaca, that waited on him. But himself he went straight to Agamemnon, son of Atreus, and received at his hand the staff of his fathers, imperishable ever, and therewith went his way along the ships of the brazen-coated Achaeans.
