Iliad 15: 200-204

From the Venetus A MS

τὸν δ' ἠμείβετ' ἔπειτα ποδήνεμος ὠκέα Ι̂̈ρις:

οὕτω γὰρ δή τοι γαιήοχε κυανοχαῖτα.

τόνδε φέρω Διῒ μῦθον ἀπηνέα τε κρατερόν τε:

ἦ τι μεταστρέψεις. στρεπταὶ μέν τε φρένες ἐσθλῶν:

οἶσθ' ὡς πρεσβυτέροισιν Ἐρῑνύες αἰὲν ἕπονται:

Then wind-footed swift Iris answered him: "Is it thus in good sooth, O Earth-Enfolder, thou dark-haired god, that I am to bear to Zeus this message, unyielding and harsh, or wilt thou anywise turn thee; for the hearts of the good may be turned? Thou knowest how the Erinyes ever follow to aid the elder-born."

A. T. Murray (1924)
