gre 260-268
Τὸν δ᾽ Ἑρμῆς μύθοισιν ἀμείβετο κερδαλέοισι:
Λητοΐδη, τίνα τοῦτον ἀπηνέα μῦθον ἔειπας;
καὶ βοῦς ἀγραύλους διζήμενος ἐνθάδ᾽ ἱκάνεις;
οὐκ ἴδον, οὐ πυθόμην, οὐκ ἄλλου μῦθον ἄκουσα:
οὐκ ἂν μηνύσαιμ᾽, οὐκ ἂν μήνυτρον ἀροίμην:
οὐδὲ βοῶν ἐλατῆρι, κραταιῷ φωτί, ἔοικα.
οὐκ ἐμὸν ἔργον τοῦτο, πάρος δέ μοι ἄλλα μέμηλεν:
ὕπνος ἐμοί γε μέμηλε καὶ ἡμετέρης γάλα μητρὸς
σπάργανά τ᾽ ἀμφ᾽ ὤμοισιν ἔχειν καὶ θερμὰ λοετρά.
Evelyn-White 1914, eng
The newborn god tries to deceive Apollo
260-268 Then Hermes answered him with crafty words: Son of Leto,
what harsh words are these you have spoken? And is it cattle of the
field you are come here to seek? I have not seen them: I have not heard
of them: no one has told me of them. I cannot give news of them, nor win
the reward for news. Am I like a cattle-lifter, a stalwart person? This
is no task for me: rather I care for other things: I care for sleep, and
milk of my mother’s breast, and wrappings round my shoulders, and warm
baths.
