ἡ μὲν ἄρ᾽ ὣς εἰποῦσ᾽ ἀπέβη γλαυκῶπις Ἀθήνη,
320 ὄρνις δ᾽ ὣς ἀνόπαια διέπτατο: τῷ δ᾽ ἐνὶ θυμῷ
θῆκε μένος καὶ θάρσος, ὑπέμνησέν τέ ἑ πατρὸς
μᾶλλον ἔτ᾽ ἢ τὸ πάροιθεν. ὁ δὲ φρεσὶν ᾗσι νοήσας
θάμβησεν κατὰ θυμόν: ὀίσατο γὰρ θεὸν εἶναι.

Haec certe iam sic facta · abiit glaucopis athena ·
Auis autem sicuti ala petens uolauit : isti autem animo
Posuit uim et audaciam : recordarique fecit ipsum patris
Magis ad hoc quam antea · hic autem sensibus propriis intelligens
obstupuit animo · agnouit enim deum esse
Statim autem ad procos iuit similis deo uir

In likeness of an eagle, to his wonder,
Who thought it was some God, and grew thereby
Bolder, and on his father more did ponder.

So spoke the goddess, flashing-eyed Athena, and departed,
[320] flying upward as a bird; and in his heart
she put strength and courage, and made him think of his father
even more than aforetime. And in his mind he marked her
and marvelled, for he deemed that she was a god;¨
and straightway he went among the wooers, a godlike man.
