ὡς ἄρα φωνήσας. πάλιν ἐτράπετ': αἴδετο γάρ ῥα
πατροκασιγνήτοιο μιγήμεναι ἐν παλάμῃσι:
τὸν δὲ κασιγνήτη μάλα νείκεσε πότνια θηρῶν.
Ἄρτεμις ἀγροτέρη: καὶ ὀνείδειον φάτο μῦθον:
φεύγεις δὴ ἑκάεργε. Ποσιδάωνι δὲ νίκην
πᾶσαν ἐπέτρεψας, μέλεον δέ οἱ εὖχος ἔδωκας:
νηπύτιε τί νυ τόξον ἔχεις ἀνεμώλιον αὔτως;
μή σευ νῦν ἔτι πατρὸς ἐνι μεγάροισιν ἀκούσω
εὐχομένου ὡς τὸ πρὶν ἐν ἀθανάτοισι θεοῖσιν.
So saying he turned him back, for he had shame to deal in blows with his father's brother. But his sister railed at him hotly, even the queen of the wild beasts, Artemis of the wild wood, and spake a word of reviling: "Lo, thou fleest, thou god that workest afar, and to Poseidon hast thou utterly yielded the victory, and given him glory for naught! Fool, why bearest thou a bow thus worthless as wind? Let me no more hear thee in the halls of our father boasting as of old among the immortal gods that thou wouldest do battle in open combat with Poseidon."
