Husband to Wife

Homer, Iliad 14.314 (Zeus to Hera; tr. A.T. Murray, rev. William F. Wyatt):
But for us two, come, let us take our joy bedded together in love.

νῶι δ᾿ ἄγ᾿ ἐν φιλότητι τραπείομεν εὐνηθέντε.
τραπείομεν is from τέρπω, not τρέπω, but Richmond Lattimore's rendering makes me wonder if he confused the two:
But now let us go to bed and turn to love-making.
