Ὡς εἰπὼν. πυλέων ἐξέσσυτο φαίδιμος Ἕκτορ.
τῷ δ' ἅμ' Ἀλέξανδρος κί' ἀδελφεός: ἐν δ' άρα θυμῷ
ἀμφότεροι μέμασαν πολεμίζειν ἠδὲ μάχεσθαι:
ὡς δὲ θεὸς ναύτῃσιν ἐελδομένοισιν, ἔδωκεν
οὖρον, ἐπεί κε, κάμωσιν ἐϋξέστῃς ἐλάτῃσι
πόντον ἐλαύνοντες: καμάτῳ δ' ὑπο γυῖα λέλυνται:
ὡς ἄρα τὼ Τρώεσσιν ἐελδομένοισι φανήτην:
So saying, glorious Hector hastened forth from the gates, and with him went his brother Alexander; and in their hearts were both eager for war and battle. And as a god giveth to longing seamen a fair wind when they have grown weary of beating the sea with polished oars of fir, and with weariness are their limbs fordone; even so appeared these twain to the longing Trojans.
