ὦ χρυσοῦ δολίοιο, πόσον κακὸν ἔπλεο θνητοῖς:
ζῶσιν καὶ φθιμένοις χεῖρα φέρεις ἀδικῶν
οἷς γὰρ ἐμὸν τύμβον τε καὶ ὀστέα δῶκα φυλάσσειν,
τῶνδ᾽ ὑπὸ ταῖς μιαραῖς ἐξολόμην παλάμαις.

— Paton edition

O deceitful gold, what an evil thou art for man!
Thou raisest the hand of the wicked against both
dead and living. For I perished by the accursed
hands of those into whose care I bequeathed my
tomb and bones.
