These are the first sixteen lines of Homer's Iliad in meter, ending right before the priest, Chryses, begs for the release of his daughter.
Since I am not a music major, and have little experience in poems, I do not chant everything in the best tempo, but it is close enough to give the idea of what this Epic sounds like when read aloud.
