The Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite (Homeric Hymn 5) lines 7-20

To Aphrodite

lines 7-20:

But three hearts she can’t persuade, or deceive:
The daughter of aegis-bearing Zeus, Athena of the steel-blue-gleaming eyes,
For the deeds of gold-rich Aphrodite do not please her.
Instead battles delight her, and the business of Ares,
Combat and struggle and to partake of glorious deeds.
She first taught men upon the dark earth – craftsmen –
To make chariot-cars and bright-painted war-chariots with bronze.
Neither, ever, does laughter-loving Aphrodite overpower
In love loud-sounding Artemis, who bears a golden distaff.
The bow delights her, and to kill wild beasts in the hills,
And the lyre and the dance, and the far-reaching glad cries in women’s voices
And shady groves, and to chastise the cities of men.
