Book IX, 586
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. III, 1917)
A, Tet me, shepherd, whose are these rows of plants? B. The olive-trees belong to Pallas and the vines round them to Dionysus. A. And whose is the corn? B. Demeter’s. A. To what gods do the flowers belong? B. To Hera and rosy Aphrodite. A. Dear Pan, stay here and ply the pipe with thy lips, for thou shalt find Echo on this sunny slope.
