τὸν δὲ χολωσαμένη προσέφη λευκώλενος Ἥρη:
εἴη κεν καὶ τοῦτο τεὸν ἔπος ἀργυρότοξε:
εἰ δὴ ὁμὴν Ἀχιλῆϊ καὶ Ἕκτορι θήσετε τιμήν.
Ἕκτωρ μὲν θνητός τε γυναῖκά τε θήσατο μαζὸν:
αὐτὰρ Ἀχιλλεύς ἐστι θεᾶς γόνος. ἣν ἐγὼ αὐτὴ
θρέψά τε καὶ ἀτίτηλα: καὶ ἀνδρὶ, πόρον παράκοιτιν
Πηλεῖ, ὃς περὶ κῆρι φίλος γένετ' ἀθανάτοισι:
πάντες δ' ἀντιάασθε θεοὶ γάμου: ἐν δὲ σὺ τοῖσι
δαίνυ' ἔχων φόρμιγγα κακῶν ἕταρ', αἰὲν ἄπιστε:
Then stirred to anger spake to him white-armed Hera: "Even this might be as thou sayest, Lord of the silver bow, if indeed ye gods will vouchsafe like honour to Achilles and to Hector. Hector is but mortal and was suckled at a woman's breast, but Achilles is the child of a goddess that I mine own self fostered and reared, and gave to a warrior to be his wife, even to Peleus, who was heartily dear to the immortals. And all of you, O ye gods, came to her marriage, and among them thyself too didst sit at the feast, thy lyre in thy hand, O thou friend of evil-doers, faithless ever."
