τὴν δ' ἀπαμειβόμενος προσέφη νεφεληγερέτα Ζεύς:
θάρσει Τριτογένεια φίλον τέκος: οὔ νύ τι θυμῷ
πρόφρονι μυθέομαι. ἐθέλω δέ τοι ήπιος εἶναι:
έρξον ὅπῃ δή τοι νόος ἔπλετο: μὴ δέ τ' ἐρώει:
Then in answer to her spake Zeus, the cloud-gatherer: "Be of good cheer, Tritogeneia, dear child. In no wise do I speak with full purpose of heart, but am minded to be kindly to thee. Do as thy pleasure is and hold thee back no more."
