     ὄλοιθ’ ὃς πόλει μεγάλ’ ἐπεύχεται,
     κεραυνοῦ δέ νιν βέλος ἐπισχέθοι,
     πρὶν ἐμὸν ἐσθορεῖν δόμον, πωλικῶν
     θ’ ἑδωλίων ὑπερκόπῳ
     δορί ποτ’ ἐκλαπάξαι.

     óloith’ hòs pólei megál’ epeúkhetai,
     keraunoû dé nin bélos episkhéthoi,
     prìn emòn esthoreîn dómon, pōlikôn
     th’ hedōlíōn huperkópōi
     dorí pot’ eklapáxai.

     Death to him who exults so arrogantly over the city! May the thunderbolt stop him before he leaps into my home and plunders me from my maiden chambers with his outrageous spear!
