χῶρος ἐγὼ Δαναοῖς μεμελημένος, ἔνθα μολόντες
τῆς Ποδαλειρείης ἐξελάθοντο τέχνης.
ἕλκεα γὰρ μετὰ δῆριν ἐμοῖς ἀκέσαντο ῥεέθροις,
βαρβαρικῆς λόγχης ἰὸν ἀπωσάμενοι.

ἔνθεν ἀεξήθην ὀροφηφόρος: ἀντὶ δὲ τιμῆς
τὴν Ἀγαμεμνονέην εὗρον ἐπωνυμίην.

— Paton edition

I am a place beloved by the Danai, coming to which
they forgot the art of Podalirius.¹ For after the battle
they healed their wounds in my stream, expelling the
poison of the barbarian spear. Hence I grew great
and came to bear a roof, and as a token of fame
received the name of Agamemnon.
