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!
