: 2 THE ILIAD. [book i. But sent him off with contumely and words of stem monition : 25 " Beware, old sire! lest here, beside Achaia's hollow galleys. Or now I catch thee lingering or afterward returning Lest-that thy sceptre save thee not nor yet thy sacred ensign. But her I never will release sooner shall age o'ertake her, Far distant from her land of birth within our house at Argos ; 30 For there shaU she the shuttle ply and at my bed attend me. But come! my temper fret not; else, less safe thy journey homeward." The old man quail'd before the word, and hastily obey'd him. Speechless he went along the strand of the much-brawling water Then many a pray'r in loneliness he pour'd with aged bosom 35 To prince Apollo, whom to bear, bright-hair'd Latona travail'd "Lord of the silver arrows, hear! who overshelt'rest Chrysa, Who bravely reign'st in Tenedos and in the heav'nly Killa If ever pleasant offerings to thee, god of Sminthus ; ; ! : : ! I hanged o'er the temple-walls, or bum'd upon thy altar 40 The fatten'd limbs of buUs and goats; this wish for me accomplish Cause by thy bolts the Danai dearly to pay my sorrows." So utter'd he the word of pray'r ; and bright Apollo heard him. Down from Olympus' highths the god with swelling heart descended. Bow on his shoulder carrying and closely-roofed quiver. 45 And loud and angrily the shafts did at his shoidder rattle. When forth he started : but himself like gloom of Night came rushing. He from the galleys took his seat afar, and aim'd an arrow ; Then of the silver-corded bow right fearful was the twanging. Atfirst the mules and huddling dogs he visited ; but shortly 5 Against the warriours themselves a shaft, with anguish freighted, He aim'd : and ever as he drew, thick blaz'd the piles of corpses. Nine days the weapons of the god made riot through the army. And on the tenth did Achileus the mote of people summon. For so did Juno, white-arm'd goddess, secretly advise him, 55 In sorrow for the Danai, for-that she saw them dying. When therefore they assembling came, and aU were met together. Thus did Achilles, fleet of foot, uprising speak among them " Atrides, thou and I may now, I reckon, straggling homeward Ketrace the voyage back again,— should haply Death allow us,— 60 —
; BOOK I.] THE ILIAD. 3 If war at once and pestilence thus wear away the Achaians. But come now; let us of some priest inquire, or some diviner. Or some interpreter of dreams (for dreams too Jove inspireth) ; : : ; : : Who may reveal, what cause hath rous'd such wrath in bright Apollo Whether perchance for stinted vows or hecatomb he blameth :— 65 If at our hand the fragrancy from fat of lambs partaking And perfect goats, he haply choose to ward away the ruin." [them Thus spake the prince, and down he sat : and straightway rose before By far the wisest of the augurs, Calchas, son of Thestor, Who knew the present and the past, and all hereafter coming, 70 And had as far as Ilium the Achaian galleys guided. Because of that sage art of his, which bright Apollo gave him Who thus with kindly soul harangu'd, and spake his word among them. " Achilles, dear to Jupiter ! me biddest thou to interpret The sore displeasure of the prince Apollo the far-darting? 75 I then will tell ; but thou to me must swear in solemn treaty, That verily with word and hand thou zealously wilt aid me. For troth ! I reckon to enrage a man, mid all the Achaians Who lords it mightily, and meets obedience from Argos. For stronger is a king, when he with common man is angry : 80 For even if on that one day he may digest his choler. Yet in his bosom haply still he fostereth a hatred. In aftertime to compass it then think, if thou wUt save me." But him AchiUes, fleet of foot, address'd in words responsive " Take courage, surely; and avow whate'er the gods have shown thee- For by Apollo, Jove-belov'd, who, mov'd by thy entreaty, O Calchas ! to the Danai divine decrees expoundeth ; While I yet live, and on the earth gaze up to light of heaven No man of all the Danai beside the hoDow galleys On thee the heavy hand shall lay ; not, were it Agamemnon 90 Who now among the Achaians claims to be by far the noblest." The spotless seer then courage took, and thus his message utter'd " Not on the score of stinted vows or hecatomb he blameth. But on his worshipper's account, whom Agamemnon scorning Eefus'd his daughter to release or to accept the ransom. 95 Therefore doth the Far-darter send, and yet will send, disaster;
