οὐδ' ἀλαὸσ σκοπιὴν εἶχε κρείων ἐνοσίχθων.
καὶ γὰρ ὃ θαυμάζων ἧστο πτόλεμόν τε μάχην τε
ὑψοῦ ἐπ' ἀκροτάτης κορυφῆς Σάμου ὑληέσσης
Θρηϊκίης. ἔνθεν γὰρ ἐφαίνετο πᾶσα μὲν Ἴδη.
φαίνετο δὲ Πριάμοιο πόλις. καὶ νῆες Ἀχαιῶν:
ἐνθ' ἄρ' ὅ γ' ἐξ ἁλὸς ἕζετ' ῒων. ἐλέαιρε δ' Ἀχαιοὺς.
Τρωσὶν δαμναμένους. Διῒ δὲ κρατερῶς ἐνεμέσσα.
But the lord, the Shaker of Earth, kept no blind watch, for he sat marvelling at the war and the battle, high on the topmost peak of wooded Samothrace, for from thence all Ida was plain to see; and plain to see were the city of Priam, and the ships of the Achaeans. There he sat, being come forth from the sea, and he had pity on the Achaeans that they were overcome by the Trojans, and against Zeus was he mightily wroth.
