: : : 4 THE ILIAD. [book i. Nor wiU he of the pestilence withdraw the deadly grapple. Till some one to her father dear restore the curl-eyed damsel Unpurchas'd, unredeem'd; and lead in sacred train to Chrysa A hecatomb ; then haply we might pacify and trust him." 100 Thus spake the seer, and down he sat ; and straightway rose before <strong>The</strong> widely-reigning Atreus' son, the hero Agamemnon, [them In anguish : for with frenesy his soul of black within him WasfiU'd; and those two eyes of his like coals of fire were gleaming. Calchas address'd he first of all, with glance that evil boded : 105 " Prophet of ill ! thou never yet didst canny saying utter To thee it alway pleasant is of evil things to augur But goodly word to me, not once hast spoken or accomplish'd. And now among the Danai expounding thou haranguest. That therefore the Far-darter doth, forsooth! disaster send them, 110 Sith-that for Chryses' damsel I the brilliant ransom willed Not to accept ; for surely much the maid herself prefer I At home to keep, and love her e'en than Clytemnestra better. My wife of early love ; for ay ! in naught is she behind her. Neither in feature nor in frame, in mind or handy cunning. 115 StUl, even so, to give her back I choose, if this be better : My people I desire to be in safety, not to perish. But ho ! for me forthwith a prize prepare ; lest unrewarded Alone of Argives I be left : for that, I trow, befits not. For look ye all, what prize for me by other road is coming." 120 To him thereat divine Achilles, foot-reliant, answer'd " Atrides most illustrious, in greed supreme of all men Whence shall the Achaians lofty-soul'd a prize for thee discover ? For nowhere keep we common spoil in store ; and from the cities Whate'er wepiUag'd,allisshar'd; and troth ! it were unseemly 126 To make the general folk regorge what once hath been divided. But to the god sun-ender now this maid ; and we the Achaians Threefold and fourfold will repay, if haply Jove allow us To win the meed of pillaging Troy's nobly-fenced city." 98. Cml-eyed is quite literal to the Greek, though interpreters shrink fron rendering it. I refer it to the outline in which' the eyelids meet, which in tb pictures of Hindoo ladies may be often observed to be remarkably curly. 106. Cwmy (Scotch) ; clever, well-omened. !
BOOK I.] THE ILIAD. 5. To him in words reciprocal spake royal Agamemnon : 130 " Achilles, image of the gods ! do not, howe'er intrepid, Steal past me thus : thou wilt not me outstrip : persuade thou shalt not. Dost wish, a prize thyself to have, and me, despoil' d, dishonour'd, > Just as I am, to sit ; and troth ! me to restore her, biddest ? Now, if the lofty-soul'd Achaians find a prize to grace me, 135 Eight worthy of my dignity, and suited to^ my humour, 'Tis well ; but if they find it not, and I, with hand at random, Clutch either thine or AJax" prize, or haply from Ulysses Seize and lead off;—why then, whome'er I visit, may be wrathful. But aU such riddles better we hereafter shall interpret 140 And now in the salt flood divine launch we a dusky galley. And rowers for it carefuUy collect, and place within it A hecatomb, and bring on board the dainty-cheek'd Chryseis, And of our councillors let one with high command be present, Or Ajax or Idomeneus or the divine Ulysses, 145 Or thee, Pelides ! marvellous among the race of mortals That thou for us by saered rite mayst win the Far-averter." But him Achilles, fleet of foot, with scowling glance accosted : "Ah thou in shamelessness array'd, with fox's greedy temper. How, ever, shall Achaian man with zeal obey thy summons, 150 Either upon a march to go, or stoutly close in combat ? For hither not with sake of war against the spearmen Troians no charge have / against them Came I in quarrel of my own : For never drave they beeves of mine, nor horses have they driven. Nor ever on the loamy clods of hero-feeding Phthia 155 Did damage to my harvestry ; for verily betwixt us Is many a shady mountain-ridge and many a roaring billow. But thee, huge in-irapudence ! for thy delight we follow Earning renown at Troian cost for thee and Menelaiis, O dog in forehead !—naught of which abasheth thee nor troubleth. 160 And lo ! of e'en my proper-prize thou threatenest to strip me, For which I greatly toil'd, and which Achaia's sons awarded. Never have I an equal lot ; ; ; to thine, when we the Achaians Clutch from the Troians mightily some thickly-peopled fortress. In sooth, the chiefer of&ces of ever-rushing battle 165 :
