ἴ̈θυσαν δὲ πολὺ προτέρω: νεμέσησε δ' Ἀπόλλων
Περγάμου ἐκκατιδών. Τρώεσσι δὲ κέκλετ' ἀΰσας:
ὄρνυσθ' ἱ̈ππόδαμοι Τρῶες, μὴδ' είκετε χάρμης
Ἀργείοις. ἐπεὶ οὔ σφι λίθος χρὼς οὐδὲ σίδηρος.
χαλκὸν ἀνασχέσθαι τὰμεσίχροα βαλλομένοισιν:
οὐ μὰν οὐδ' Ἀχιλεὺς, Θέτιδος παῖς ἠϋκόμοιο
μάρναται: ἀλλ' ἐπὶ νηυσὶ χόλον θυμαλγέα πέσσει:
And Apollo, looking down from Pergamus, had indignation, and called with a shout to the Trojans: "Rouse ye, horse-taming Trojans, give not ground in fight before Argives; not of stone nor of iron is their flesh to resist the bronze that cleaveth the flesh, when they are smitten. Nay, and Achilles moreover fighteth not, the son of fair-haired Thetis, but amid the ships nurseth his bitter wrath."
