TO ATHENA
(in alcaic metre)
O Queen Athena, mighty in war’s alarms,
O keeping guard by river Coralio,
And on the steeps of Coronea,
Over the house of thy sacred worship!
O Queen perchance thou movest above the camp,
The camp of our divided armies.
TO HERMES
(in sapphic metre)
Cyllenean Ruler and Lord, a paean
Raise I now. ßeloved of the son of Cronos,
Maia brought thee forth on the sacred moun-tain’s
Loftiest summit.
EROS
He sprang, of gods the mightiest god,
From Zephyr, golden-tressed,
And gentle Iris, neatly-shod,
When Love these lovers blessed.
