Hymn to the mother of the gods (PMG 935)
[…] Goddesses,
Come down from heaven
and sing with me a hymn
to the Mother of the Gods:
how she came wandering
over the hills and vales,
trailing her hair in the <dirt>,
distraught in her senses.
Zeus the king observed her
_the Mother of the Gods_
aimed his thunderbolt and
made to take her drums,
he split rocks in two and_
made to take her drums.
«Mother, be off to the gods!
Don’t wander over the hills
in case the keen-eyed lions
or grey wolves [catch] you…»
And: «…I won’t go off
unless I receive my share:
a half of the sky above
and a half of [my own] earth
and a share of ocean too.
Only then will I depart».
Hail! Great Queen!
Mother of all Olympus!
