Lines 293–299
but from the time when we drave them toward Ilios, even from that moment I lie in wait with my bow and slay the men. Eight long-barbed arrows have I now let fly, and all are lodged in the flesh of youths swift in battle; only this mad dog can I not smite.
Ἀτρεΐδη κύδιστε τί με σπεύδοντα καὶ αὐτὸν
ὀτρύνεις; οὐ μέν τοι ὅση δύναμίς γε πάρεστι
παύομαι, ἀλλʼ ἐξ οὗ προτὶ Ἴλιον ὠσάμεθʼ αὐτοὺς
ἐκ τοῦ δὴ τόξοισι δεδεγμένος ἄνδρας ἐναίρω.
ὀκτὼ δὴ προέηκα τανυγλώχινας ὀϊστούς,
πάντες δʼ ἐν χροῒ πῆχθεν ἀρηϊθόων αἰζηῶν·
τοῦτον δʼ οὐ δύναμαι βαλέειν κύνα λυσσητῆρα.
