Theocritus
270 BC / Syracuse, Italy
For a Tripod Erected by Damoteles to Bacchus
LIKE THIS POEM
The precentor Damoteles, Bacchus, exalts
Your tripod, and, sweetest of deities, you.
He was champion of men, if his boyhood had faults;
And he ever loved honour and seemliness too.
translated by C. S. Calverley
