ὡς οἱ μὲν τοιαῦτα πρὸς ἀλλήλους ἀγόρευον:
τὼ δὲ τάχ' ἐγγύθεν ἦλθον ἑλαύνοντ' ὠκέας ἵππους:
τὸν πρότερος προσέειπε Λυκάονος ἀγλαὸς υἱός:
καρτερόθυμε δαΐφρον, ἀγαυοῦ Τυδέος υἱέ:
ῆ μάλα ς' ὀὐ βέλος ὠκὺ δαμάσσατο: πικρὸς ὀϊστὸς.
νῦν αὖτ' ἐγχείῃ πειρήσομαι: αἴ κε τύχωμι:
Thus they spake on this wise one to the other, and forthwith drew near those other twain, driving the swift horses. And Lycaon's glorious son spake first to him, saying: "Thou son of lordly Tydeus, stalwart and wise of heart, verily my swift shaft subdued thee not, the bitter arrow; now will I again make trial of thee with my spear, if so be I may hit thee."
