Οἱ δ' ὅτε δὴ κλισίῃσιν ἐν Ἀτρείδαο γένοντο:
τοὺς μὲν ἄρα χρυσέοισι κυπέλλοις υἷες Ἀχαιῶν
δειδέχατ' ἄλλοθεν ἄλλος ἀνασταδόν. ἔκ τ' ἐρέοντο:
πρῶτος δ' ἐξερέεινεν ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν Ἀγαμέμνων:
εἰπ`' άγε μ', ὦ πολύαιν' Ὀδυσεῦ. μέγα κῦδος Ἀχαιῶν.
ῆ ρ' ἐθέλει νήεσσιν ἀλεξέμεναι δήϊον πῦρ.
ἠ ἀπέειπε. χόλος δ' έτ' ἔχει μεγαλήτορα θυμόν:
But when the others were now come to the huts of the son of Atreus, the sons of the Achaeans stood up on this side and that and pledged them in cups of gold, and questioned them, and the king of men, Agamemnon, was the first to ask: "Come, tell me now, Odysseus, greatly to be praised, thou great glory of the Achaeans, is he minded to ward off consuming fire from the ships, or said he nay, and doth wrath still possess his proud spirit?"
