Religion
Book VI, 241
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
I, the helm, am graced by two gifts. I am lovely to look on for friends and a terror to foes. Piso? hath me from Pylaemenes. No other helmet was fit to sit on his head, no other head fit to wear me.
