Performed by Anonymous 4 with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
„deur' ag' iôn, poluain' Oduseu, mega kudos Achaiôn, nêa katastêson, hina nôïterên op' akousêis.
ou gar pô tis têide parêlase nêï melainêi,
prin g'êmeôn meligêrun apo stomatôn op' akousai, all' ho ge terpsamenos neitai kai pleiona eidôs.
idmen gar toi panth' os eni Troiêi eureiêi
Argeioi Trôes te theôn iotêti mogêsan,
idmen d', hossa genêtai epi chthoni pouluboteirêi.'

'Come to us here, the Achaians' renown, much- honored Odysseus, drawing the ship right in, so that you to our voices may listen.
This is a place past which in his dark ship no one has ever
driven, before from our lips he has heard the melodious voices, but having taken delight he goes on greater in knowledge.
We know all of the things that the Argive troops and the Trojans
there in the broad Troäd by the gods' wills labored and suffered;
we know all that is on the much-nourishing earth generated.'
(Translation by Rodney Merrill)
