Religion
Book VI, 100
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
Antiphanes, whose father bore the same name, dedicated® to Hermes, still burning in his hand, the torch, object of the young men’s holy strife, the glorious meed of victory, having run swiftly with it, as if mindful of how Prometheus stole the fire.
