LOST Greek and Latin from Season 5 Finale

Richard’s Latin response: Ille qui nos omnes servabit - “That which will save/protect us all.” It could also be “He who will save/protect us all.”

Jacob’s Tapestry Line 1: θεοὶ τόσα δοῖεν ὅσα φρεσὶ σῇσι μενοινᾷς - “May the gods grant you as much as you desire” (Hom. Od. 6.180).

Jacob’s Tapestry Line 2: θεοὶ δέ τοι ὄλβια δοῖεν - “May the gods grant happiness to you” (Hom. Od. 8.413).

NB: ὄλβια in Homer probably means worldly happiness (e.g., riches) rather than spiritual happiness.

Jacob’s Tapestry Line 3: I can only make out a few words. So, I’m not sure what it says. Sorry.
