A friend, recently attending a lecture by Emily Wilson, took along my copy of her Odyssey translation, which she inscribed very graciously with a variation on these lines from Book 15 (124-125):
δῶρόν τοι καὶ ἐγώ, τέκνον φίλε, τοῦτο δίδωμι,
μνῆμ᾽ Ἑλένης χειρῶν,
Chapman renders this: “And I present,
Lov’d son, this gift to thee, the monument
[…] of Helen’s hands.”
