Btw, the x for chi is a widespread convention, although the ancient
pronunciation was an aspirated k (akxileus ?) I find an -efs
pronunciation distasteful, partly because of the inevitable cultural
cringe, but partly because this is purely a spelling pronunciation in
Greek: as soon as it looked like -eus was going to change to -efs, the
nouns ending in -eus switched declensions, ending up as -eas and then
-yas. (So basileus > vasilyas.) -efs is ahistorical --- and given how
hard it is to pronounce, it's no wonder; I certainly wouldn't want it
enshrined in Lojban.
A word-for-word, btw:
The rage sing, goddess, of son-of-Peleus Achilles,
destructive [rage], which to a myriad Achaeans pain placed,
many also stout souls to Hades sent-early
of heroes [the souls], but themselves [the heroes] booty prepared to
dogs
to birds of prey as well all of them [the birds], but Zeus' will was
being completed;
[you should sing] from where at first stood apart disputing
both the son-of-Atreus king of men and divine Achilles.
