Technopaegnion VIII. — On the Gods

The inhabitants of Heaven also have their monosyllables. First of the gods is Right, who is Themis to the Greeks; next Rhea, whom the Romans know as Ops; then brother of Jove and Consus Tartarean Dis, her brother's sister and his wife, the queen of the gods. Might, and he who rides in a four-horse chariot, the old Sun, and he who wakens war's fierce tumult — the warrior Mars, by love of kindred never roused nor by kind Peace. Thou also shalt be named, thou haunter of the woods, Maenalian Pan; and thou, the genius of our homes, born of Larunda, Lar; and thou, eminent above the streams of Italy, sulphureous Nar, and thou who dost punish the gods for perjury, night-dark Styx; the calmer also of the sea whereon sails flit, white-backed Libs; and thou, who never leav'st poor man in trouble, kindly Hope.
