peer agreement (net): +1| out of it Götter Explanation: Und mit zürnendem Schmerz antwortete Pallas Athene: Götter, wie sehr bedarfst du des langabwesenden Vaters, Dass sein furchtbarer Arm die schamlosen Freier bestrafe! Thus Pallas Athene speaks to Telemachus: “Out on it! Thou hast of a truth sore need of Odysseus that is gone, that he might put forth his hands upon the shameless wooers.” Deutsche Übersetzung aus dem Griechischen nach J.H.Voß bearbeitet von E.Gottwein Quelle: http://www.gottwein.de/Grie/hom/od01de.php - Zeile 252-254. |
