τὸν δ' αῦτε προσέειπε θεὰ γλαυκῶπις Ἀθήνη:
ὦ πάτερ ἀργικέραυνε κελαινεφὲς, οἷον ἔειπες:
ἄνδρα θνητὸν ἐόντα. πάλαι πεπρωμένον αίσῃ.
ὰψ, ἐθέλεις θανάτοιο δυσηχέος ἐξαναλῦσαι.
έρδ': ἀτὰρ οὔ τοι πάντες ἐπαινέομεν θεοὶ ἄλλοι:
Then spake unto him the goddess, flashing-eyed Athene: "O Father, Lord of the bright lightning and of the dark cloud, what a word hast thou said! A man that is mortal, doomed long since by fate, art thou minded to deliver again from dolorous death? Do as thou wilt; but be sure that we other gods assent not all thereto."
