ὣς ἄρ ἐφώνησεν. λῦσεν δ' ἀγορὴν αἰψηρήν
οἱ μὲν ἄρ ἐσκίδναντο ἑὴν ἐπὶ νῆα ἕκαστος:
δῶρα δὲ Μυρμιδόνες μεγαλήτορες ἀμφεπένοντο:
βὰν δ' ἐπὶ νῆα φέροντες Ἀχϊλλῆος θείοιο:
καὶ τὰ μὲν ἐν κλισίῃσι θέσαν κάθισαν δὲ γυναῖκας,
ἵππους δ' ἐς ἀγέλην ἔλασαν θεράποντες ἀγαυοί.
So spake he, and hastily brake up the gathering. Then the others scattered, each to his own ship, but the great-hearted Myrmidons busied themselves about the gifts, and bare them forth to the ship of godlike Achilles. And they bestowed them in the huts, and set the women there, and the horses proud squires drave off to the herd.
