Lines 325–328
‘Truly men weaker far are wooing the wife of a noble man, and cannot string his polished bow. But another, a beggar, that came on his wanderings, easily strung the bow, and shot through the iron.’ Thus will men speak, but to us this would become a reproach.”
ἦ πολὺ χείρονες ἄνδρες ἀμύμονος ἀνδρὸς ἄκοιτιν μνῶνται, οὐδέ τι τόξον ἐΰξοον ἐντανύουσιν· ἀλλʼ ἄλλος τις πτωχὸς ἀνὴρ ἀλαλήμενος ἐλθὼν ῥηϊδίως ἐτάνυσσε βιόν, διὰ δʼ ἧκε σιδήρου.
