Hymn 17 To the Dioscuri

Perseus Greek · Perseus Greek · 2 sections

1. 1

   Sing, clear-voiced Muse, of Castor and Polydeuces, the Tyndaridae, who sprang from Olympian Zeus. Beneath the heights of Taygetus stately Leda bare them, when the dark-clouded Son of Cronos had privily bent her to his will.

2. 5

   Hail, children of Tyndareus, riders upon swift horses!
