To The Mother of the Gods
Celebrate the Mother of all gods and all mortals with me,
[Celebrate with me] mighty Zeus's daughter, clear-voiced Muse!
The joyous sound of rattles and drums and the belling of flutes
Delights her, and so does the clamour of wolves and grim lions,
And echoing mountains and baying streams.
So hail to you, and to every goddess at once, in song.
