Homer's Odyssey δ 4.609-24

Greek text hyperlinked to lexica via Perseus (perseus.tufts.edu):

ὣς φάτο, μείδησεν δὲ βοὴν ἀγαθὸς Μενέλαος,

χειρί τέ μιν κατέρεξεν ἔπος τ᾽ ἔφατ᾽ ἔκ τ᾽ ὀνόμαζεν:

‘αἵματός εἰς ἀγαθοῖο, φίλον τέκος, οἷ᾽ ἀγορεύεις:

τοιγὰρ ἐγώ τοι ταῦτα μεταστήσω: δύναμαι γάρ.

δώρων δ᾽ ὅσσ᾽ ἐν ἐμῷ οἴκῳ κειμήλια κεῖται,

δώσω ὃ κάλλιστον καὶ τιμηέστατόν ἐστιν:

δώσω τοι κρητῆρα τετυγμένον: ἀργύρεος δὲ

ἔστιν ἅπας, χρυσῷ δ᾽ χείλεα κεκράανται,

ἔργον δ᾽ Ἡφαίστοιο. πόρεν δέ ἑ Φαίδιμος ἥρως,

Σιδονίων βασιλεύς, ὅθ᾽ ἑὸς δόμος ἀμφεκάλυψε

κεῖσέ με νοστήσαντα: τεῒν δ᾽ ἐθέλω τόδ᾽ ὀπάσσαι.’

ὣς οἱ μὲν τοιαῦτα πρὸς ἀλλήλους ἀγόρευον,

δαιτυμόνες δ᾽ ἐς δώματ᾽ ἴσαν θείου βασιλῆος.

οἱ δ᾽ ἦγον μὲν μῆλα, φέρον δ᾽ ἐυήνορα οἶνον:

σῖτον δέ σφ᾽ ἄλοχοι καλλικρήδεμνοι ἔπεμπον.

ὣς οἱ μὲν περὶ δεῖπνον ἐνὶ μεγάροισι πένοντο.

Samuel Butler’s translation with certain names Hellenised:

Menelaos smiled and took Telemachus’s hand within his own. “What you say,” said he, “shows that you come of good family. I both can, and will, make this exchange for you, by giving you the finest and most precious piece of plate in all my house. It is a mixing bowl by Hephaistos’s own hand, of pure silver, except the rim, which is inlaid with gold. Phaedimus, king of the Sidonians, gave it me in the course of a visit which I paid him when I returned thither on my homeward journey. I will make you a present of it.”

Thus did they converse and guests kept coming to the king’s house. They brought sheep and wine, while their wives had put up bread for them to take with them; so they were busy cooking their dinners in the courts.
