The Iliad 21.394–399
art thou making gods to clash with gods in strife, in the fierceness1 of thy daring, as thy proud spirit sets thee on? Rememberest thou not what time thou movedst Diomedes, Tydeus' son, to wound me, and thyself in the sight of all didst grasp the spear and let drive straight at me, and didst rend my fair flesh? Therefore shalt thou now methinks, pay the full price of all that thou hast wrought.
τίπτʼ αὖτʼ κυνάμυια θεοὺς ἔριδι ξυνελαύνεις θάρσος ἄητον ἔχουσα, μέγας δέ σε θυμὸς ἀνῆκεν; οὐ μέμνῃ ὅτε Τυδεΐδην Διομήδεʼ ἀνῆκας οὐτάμεναι, αὐτὴ δὲ πανόψιον ἔγχος ἑλοῦσα ἰθὺς ἐμεῦ ὦσας, διὰ δὲ χρόα καλὸν ἔδαψας; τώ σʼ αὖ νῦν ὀΐω ἀποτισέμεν ὅσσα ἔοργας.
