Seeking Advice

Homer, Iliad 14.107-108 (Agamemnon speaking; tr. Peter Green):
I wish there was someone to offer us better advice than mine,
either young man or old: this is what I’d really welcome.

νῦν δʼ εἴη ὃς τῆσδέ γʼ ἀμείνονα μῆτιν ἐνίσποι
ἢ νέος ἠὲ παλαιός· ἐμοὶ δέ κεν ἀσμένῳ εἴη.
Martha Krieter-Spiro ad loc. (tr. Benjamin W. Millis and Sara Strack):
