Theogony

Book 1, Line 84 by Hugh G. Evelyn-White (English)

(ll. 963-968) And now farewell, you dwellers on Olympus and you islands and continents and thou briny sea within. Now sing the company of goddesses, sweet-voiced Muses of Olympus, daughter of Zeus who holds the aegis,-even those deathless one who lay with mortal men and bare children like unto gods.
