- ἦν μοι παλαιὸν δῶρον ἀρχαίου ποτὲ
θηρός, λέβητι χαλκέῳ κεκρυμμένον,
ὃ παῖς ἔτ’ οὖσα τοῦ δασυστέρνου παρὰ
Νέσσου φθίνοντος ἐκ φονῶν ἀνειλόμην,
ὃς τὸν βαθύρρουν ποταμὸν Εὔηνον βροτοὺς
μισθοῦ 'πόρευε χερσίν, οὔτε πομπίμοις
κώπαις ἐρέσσων οὔτε λαίφεσιν νεώς.- ên moi palaiòn dôron arkhaíou potè
thērós, lébēti khalkéōi kekrumménon,
hò paîs ét’ oûsa toû dasustérnou parà
Néssou phthínontos ek phonôn aneilómēn,
hòs tòn bathúrrhoun potamòn Eúēnon brotoùs
misthoû 'póreue khersín, oúte pompímois
kṓpais eréssōn oúte laíphesin neṓs. - I had a gift, given to me long ago by a monster of olden time, and stored in an urn of bronze; a gift which, while yet a girl, I took up from the shaggy-breasted Nessus,—from his life-blood, as he lay dying; Nessus, who used to carry men in his arms for hire across the deep waters of the Evenus, using no oar to waft them, nor sail of ship. (Translated by Richard C. Jebb; see Wikisource)
- ên moi palaiòn dôron arkhaíou potè
- Sophocles, Trachiniae, in Francis Storr (ed.), 555-561.
