To Aphrodite
Tell me, Muses, of the works of Aphrodite rich in gold,
The Cyprian, who calls forth for the gods sweet-tasting desire
And overpowers the tribes of death-doomed mortals,
And heaven-fallen birds of prey, and all the beasts,
All those the land breeds and the sea contains:
For the deeds of well-crowned Kythereia concern all.
