Book X, 24

Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. IV, 1918)

Living

Holy spirit of the mighty Earth-shaker, be gracious to others, too, who cross the #gean brine. For to me, driven swiftly by the Thracian breeze,’ gently hast thou granted the harbour I was fain to reach.
