Day 18: Achilles Calls Forth the Seer

Lines 64-69
ὅς κ' εἴποι, ὁτι τόσσον ἐχώσατο Φοῖβος Ἀπόλλων
εἴ τ' ἄρ ὅ γ' εὐχωλῆς ἐπιμέμφεται εἴ θ' ἑκατόμβης,
αἴ κέν πώς ἀρῶν κνίσης αἰγῶν τε τελείων
βούλεται ἀντιάσας ἡμῖν ἀπὸ λοιγὸν ἀμῦναι."
ἦ τοι ὅ γ' ὦς εἰπων κατ' ἄρ' ἕζετο, τοῖσι δ' ἀνέστη
Κάλχας Θεστορίδης, οἰωνοπόλων ὄχ ἄριστος,

Who may say what has so enraged Phoebus Apollo,
If it was a vow unfulfilled, or a hecatomb unoffered,
Or if he desires to partake of the rich savor of unblemished
Lambs and goats to ward off our destruction."
His words thus finished, he then sat down and Calchas son of Thestor,
By far the best of seers, was made to stand

Day 16: Achilles Calls Forth the Achaeans

Lines 53-58

κήδετο γὰρ Δαναῶν ὅτι ῥα θνήσκοντας ὁρᾶτο
οἱ δ' ἐπεὶ οὖν ἤερθεν ὁμηγερέες τε γένοντο,
τοῖσι δ' ἀνιστάμενος μετέφη πόδας ὠκύς Ἀχιλλεύς·

Nine days the arrows of the god went throughout the camp
On the tenth Achilles summoned the host to assembly
For the goddess white-armed Hera put it in his mind:
She was grieving for her Danaans as she watched them perish
They were gathered together and came as one,
Standing, swift-footed Achilles addressed them thus:
