XIV. To the Mother of the Gods


I PRITHEE, clear-voiced Muse, daughter of mighty Zeus, sing of the mother of all gods and men. She is well-pleased with the sound of rattles and of timbrels, with the voice of flutes and the outcry of wolves and bright-eyed lions, with echoing hills and wooded coombes.	1
And so hail to you in my song and to all goddesses as well!	2
