To the Muses and Apollo

Hugh G. Evelyn-White, 1914 · 2 lines · Read at the source

25.1-5I will begin with the Muses and Apollo and Zeus. For it is through the Muses and Apollo that there are singers upon the earth and players upon the lyre; but kings are from Zeus. Happy is he whom the Muses love: sweet flows speech from his lips.

25.6-7Hail, children of Zeus! Give honour to my song! And now I will remember you and another song also.
