τὸν δ' ἠμείβετ' ἔπειτα βοῶπις πότνια Ἥρη:
ἐννοσίγαι'. αὐτὸς σὺ μετὰ φρεσὶ, σῇσι, νόησον
Αἰνείαν ἤ κέν, μιν ἐρύσσεαι. ἤ κεν, ἐάσεις:
ἤτοι μὲν γὰρ νῶϊ πολεῖς ὠμόσσαμεν ὅρκους
πᾶσι μετ αθανάτοισιν, ἐγὼ καὶ Παλλὰς Ἀθήνη
μή ποτ' ἐπὶ Τρώεσσιν ἀλεξήσειν κακὸν ῆμαρ.
μηδ' ὁπότ' αν Τροίη μαλερῷ πυρὶ πᾶσα δάηταικαυθῆ
δαιομένηκαιομένη: δαίωσικαίωσι δ' ἀρήϊοι υἷες Ἀχαιῶν:
Then made answer to him the ox-eyed, queenly Hera: "Shaker of Earth, of thine own self take counsel in thine heart as touching Aeneas, whether thou wilt save him or suffer him to be slain for all his valour by Achilles, Peleus' son. We twain verily, even Pallas Athene and I, have sworn oaths full many among the immortals never to ward off from the Trojans the day of evil, nay, not when all Troy shall burn in the burning of consuming fire, and the warlike sons of the Achaeans shall be the burners thereof."
