Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): This unhappy man has returned to Troy in sorrow bitter beyond all sorrows, with sullen look and a cruel face. Then he suddenly jumped down from his horse and went through his palace to his room, his heart swollen with grief. (He took no notice of anything, and no one dared speak a word to him for fear.)
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 痛ましいトロイルスは、この上ない悲痛に打ち沈み、敵意に満ちた様子に冷酷な顔つきをしてトロイアに戻る。それから突然旨辛ぱっと飛び降り、胸が膨らむほど悲しみ一杯になって、宮殿の中を通り抜け、自分の部屋に入った。どんなものにも注意を向けず、誰もこわくて彼に一言も話しかけようとしなかった。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 伤心的特罗勒斯回到特罗亚，悲痛异常，愁容满面。赶紧下了马，心头湧胀，三两步跨过宫殿，来到房中；任何人都不理会，谁也不敢同他讲一句话。
