Come with me now and leave the land ofPelops, mighty sons of Zeus and Leda,and in kindness spread your light on us,Kastor and Polydeukes.You who wander above the long earthand over all the seas on swift horses,easily delivering mariners from pitiful death,fly to the masthead of our swift ship,and gazing over foremast and forstays,light a clear path through the midnight gloomfor our black vessel.
-Alkaios
