10. To Aphrodite

By Mythopedia Staff

Translated by Hugh G. Evelyn-White1914

TO APHRODITE

(1–6) Of Cytherea, born in Cyprus, I will sing. She gives kindly gifts to men: smiles are ever on her lovely face, and lovely is the brightness that plays over it. Hail, goddess, queen of well-built Salamis and sea-girt Cyprus; grant me a cheerful song. And now I will remember you and another song also.
