Simple Japanese

The rider Nestor of Gereneia replied, "My friend, you have reminded me of the sorrows we endured in that land. The sorrows suffered by the Achaeans, who possessed an unyielding spirit. We sailed on ships and wandered through misty seas, advancing to plunder under the leadership of Achilles, and fought around the great city of King Priam. There, the most outstanding among us fell. Aiakos lay there, as did Achilles, Patroclus with his godlike wisdom, and my beloved son Antilochus. He was strong, without fault, incredibly swift in running, and excelled as a warrior."

Besides these, I have experienced many hardships. Which of us mortals could possibly recount them all? If you were to stay here for five or six years and ask the noble Achaians about the suffering they endured there, before you reached the end, you would become weary and return home.

For nine years, we devised every possible scheme to bring them misfortune, and finally, Chronos's child succeeded in doing so. There was no one among them who dared to confront Odysseus directly through trickery. He, who was almost a god, excelled greatly in all forms of strategy. He is your father. If you truly carry his blood within you. Seeing you fills me with awe.

Your words are very similar to his. No one would think that someone so young could speak in such a similar way. I, along with the gods, am equal to Odysseus, and while he was there, he never disagreed with anyone at any meeting or council. He always had a united mind, carefully considered advice, and thought about what was best for the Achaeans.
