Epigram 40: Acrisius of Pelasgian race
Translated by H. W. Tytler (1793; Bohn 1856) · From Works of Callimachus (Tytler, 1793)
Religion
Acrisius of Pelasgian race
To Ceres rais’d this holy place,
Where Timodemus pays his vow
To her, and Proserpine below :
Triumphant from bis naval toil,
He gives the tenth of every spoil.
