μυρία με τρίψασαν ἀμετρήτοιο θαλάσσης
κύματα, καὶ χέρσῳ βαιὸν ἐρεισαμένην,
ὤλεσεν οὐχὶ θάλασσα, νεῶν φόβος, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπὶ γαίης
Ἥφαιστος. τίς ἐρεῖ πόντον ἀπιστότερον;ἔνθεν ἔφυν ἀπόλωλα: παρ᾽ ἠιόνεσσι δὲ κεῖμαι,
— Paton edition
χέρσῳ τὴν πελάγευς ἐλπίδα μεμφομένη.
After I had traversed innumerable waves of the limitless sea, and stood firm for a season on the land, I was destroyed not by the sea, the terror of ships, but on shore by fire. Who will say that the sea is the more treacherous of the two? It was the earth on which I came into being that destroyed me, and I lie on the beach, reproaching the land for the fate I expected from the sea.

在我穿越了无边的大海无数的波涛后，在陆地停靠了一个季节之后，我被摧毁了。摧毁我的不是大海，不是船的恐怖，而是岸上的火。谁会说海是两者中更危险的？是诞生我的大地毁灭了我/我躺在沙滩上，为我再也不能回归大海的命运而责备陆地。
