Poseidon

The great god

I begin to sing,

He who moves the earth

And the desolate sea

The deep water god

Who is lord

Of Helikon

And broad Aigai.

Shaker of the Earth

The gods gave you

A double honour.

You are

The tamer of horses

And the saviour of ships.

Farewell, Poseidon,

You hold up the earth.

You are dark-haired

You are blessed

You have a kind heart.

Help those who sail upon the sea

In ships.

- Homeric Hymn to Poseidon (transl. E. V. Rieu)
