ὡς εἰπὼν μέγ' ἄϋσεν ἐπεσσύμενος πεδίοιο:
ὡς εἰπὼν, μέγ' ἄϋσεν ἐπεσσύμενος πεδίοιο:
ὅσσόν τ' ἐννεάχιλοι ἐπίαχον ἠ δεκάχιλοι
ἀνέρες ἐν πολέμῳ ἔριδα ξυνάγοντες Ἄρηος:
τόσσην ἐκ στήθεσφιν ὄπα κρείων ἐνοσίχθων
ἧκεν. Ἀχαιοῖσιν δὲ μέγα, σθένος ἔμβαλ' ἑκάστῳ
καρδίῃ, ἄλληκτον πολεμίζειν. ἠδὲ μάχεσθαι:
So saying, he shouted mightily, as he sped over the plain. Loud as nine thousand warriors, or ten thousand, cry in battle when they join in the strife of the War-god, even so mighty a shout did the lord, the Shaker of Earth, send forth from his breast. and in the heart of each man of the Achaeans he put great strength, to war and fight unceasingly.
