Pan of the Sea-cliff: Archias (First Century B.C.)

By The Greek Anthology

Translation of John William Mackail

ME, Pan, the fishermen placed upon this holy cliff,—Pan of the sea-shore, the watcher here over the fair anchorages of the harbor: and I take care now of the baskets and again of the trawlers off this shore. But sail thou by, O stranger, and in requital of this good service of theirs I will send behind thee a gentle south wind.
