Τὸν δ' αῦτε προσέειπε θεὰ γλαυκῶπις Ἀθήνη:
ὧδ' ἔστω ἑκάεργε: τὰ γὰρ φρονέουσα καὶ αὐτὴ
ἦλθον ἀπ Ουλύμποιο, μετα Τρῶας καὶ Ἀχαιούς:
ἀλλ`' άγε, πῶς μέμονας πόλεμον καταπαυσέμεν ἀνδρῶν:
And in answer to him spake the goddess, flashing-eyed Athene: "So be it, thou god that workest afar; with this in mind am I myself come from Olympus to the midst of Trojans and Achaeans. But come, how art thou minded to stay the battle of the warriors?"
