Iliad I: 219-222

From the Venetus A MS

ἦ καὶ ἐπ' ἀργυρέῃ κώπῃ σχέθε χεῖρα βαρεῖαν:

ἂψ δ' ἐς κουλεὸν, ὦσε μέγα ξίφος: οὐδ' ἀπίθησε

μύθῳ Ἀθηναίης. ἣ δ' οὔλυμπον δὲ βεβήκει

δώματ' ἐς αἰγιόχοιο Διὸς μετὰ δαίμονας ἄλλους:

He spoke, and stayed his heavy hand on the silver hilt, and back into its sheath thrust the great sword, and did not disobey the word of Athene. She returned to Olympus to the palace of aegis-bearing Zeus, to join the company of the other gods.
