ὡς ἔφατ’ εὐχόμενος. τοῦ δ’ ἔκλυε Φοῖβος Ἀπόλλων.
αὐτίκα παῦσ’ ὀδύνας. ἀπο δ’ ἕλκεος ἀργαλέοιο
αἷμα μέλαν τέρσηνε. μένος δέ οἱ ἔμβαλε θυμῷ:
Γλαῦκος δ’ ἔγνω ᾗσιν ἐνὶ φρεσὶ. γήθησέν τε.
ὅττί οἱ ὦκ’ ἤκουσε μέγας θεὸς εὐξαμένοιο:
πρῶτα μὲν ὄτρυνεν Λυκίων ἡγήτορας ἄνδρας
πάντῃ ἐποιχόμενος Σαρπηδόνος ἀμφιμάχεσθαι:
αὐτὰρ ἔπειτα μετὰ Τρῶας κίε μακρὰ βιβάσθων.
Πουλυδάμαντ’ ἐπι Πανθοίδην καὶ Ἀγήνορα δῖον.
βῆ δὲ μέτ’ Αἰνείαν τε καὶ Ἕκτορα χαλκοκορυστήνέ.
ἀγχοῦ δ’ ἱ¨στάμενος ἔπεα πτερόεντα προσηύδα:
Ἕκτορ , νῦν δὴ πάγχυ λελασμένος εἲς, ἐπικούρων,
οἳ σέθεν εἵνεκα τῆλε φίλων καὶ πατρίδος αἴης
θυμὸν ἀποφθινύθουσι. σὺ δ’ οὐκ ἐθέλεις ἐπαμύνειν.
κεῖται Σαρπηδὼν Λυκίων ἀγὸς ἀσπιστάων.
ὃς Λυκίην εἴρυτο δίκῃσί τε καὶ σθένεϊ ᾧ:
τὸν δ’ ὑπὸ Πατρόκλῳ δάμασ’ ἔγχεϊ χάλκεος Ἄρης:
ἀλλὰ φίλοι πάρστητε. νεμεσσήθητε δὲ θυμῷ.
μὴ ἀπὸ τεύχε’ ἕλωνται. ἀεικίσσωσι δὲ νεκρὸν
Μυρμιδόνες. Δαναῶν κεχολωμένοι ὅσσοι ὄλοντο,
τοὺς ἐπὶ νηυσὶ θοῇσιν ἐπέφνομεν ἐγχείῃσιν:
So spake he in prayer, and Phoebus Apollo heard him. Forthwith he made his pains to cease, and staunched the black blood that flowed from his grievous wound, and put might into his heart. And Glaucus knew in his mind, and was glad that the great god had quickly heard his prayer. First fared he up and down everywhere and urged on the leaders of the Lycians to fight for Sarpedon, and thereafter went with long strides into the midst of the Trojans, unto Polydamas, son of Panthous, and goodly Agenor, and he went after Aeneas, and after Hector, harnessed in bronze. And he came up to him and spake winged words, saying: "Hector, now in good sooth art thou utterly forgetful of the allies, that for thy sake far from their friends and their native land are wasting their lives away, yet thou carest not to aid them. Low lies Sarpedon, leader of the Lycian shieldmen, he that guarded Lycia by his judgments and his might. Him hath brazen Ares laid low beneath the spear of Patroclus. Nay, friends, take your stand beside him, and have indignation in heart, lest the Myrmidons strip him of his armour and work shame upon his corpse, being wroth for the sake of all the Danaans that have perished, whom we slew with our spears at the swift ships."
