Greek plaque

Can anyone translate the Greek writing on the stone slab in front of the wheel? Lacrossedeamon (talk) 18:15, June 6, 2019 (UTC)

It's not the seeming hogwash present in the main game? Sadelyrate (siniath) 20:01, June 6, 2019 (UTC)

(Nvm, found it now, checking.) Something about Ixion (gee). Sadelyrate (siniath) 20:09, June 6, 2019 (UTC)

Not sure I got it right (heated brain ftw), but here's rough transliteration (Tl;dr: Ixion, Hera, Zeus = not a happy threesome):

Oti o Ixion Íras

Erastheis epechieirei

Biazesthai kai

Tês Íras gnonai

(??) on o Zeus

Ei outosechiei to

Pragma nephielên

Exeikasas íra

Pareklinen auto

Kai kahchiomenon

Os íra migenta

Enedêse trochio

Uphi ou phieromenoz

Oia pneuaton en

Sorry for jumping into a years' old conversation, but I only just had the same question. After a bit of digging, I'm pretty sure it's a transcription from Apollodorus, Epitome, E.1.20. There's a translation here: https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022%3Atext%3DEpitome%3Abook%3DE%3Achapter%3D1%3Asection%3D20 Daedalus1789 (talk) 00:51, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
