The aid of Zeus 490 can easily be recognized by humans. 650 We see to whom he grants the greatest glory, and whom he brings down low and will not save. So now, the god is weakening the Greeks and helping us. Now all of you together keep fighting by the ships. If you are wounded by flying arrows or a thrusting sword and meet your death and destiny—so be it! Die! You will suffer no disgrace in dying to save your fatherland. In future times, your wife and children will be safe, your household 660 and land will be undamaged—if the Greeks sail home to their own country.”
