Religion
Book VI, 266
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
This Artemis in the cross-ways did Hagelochia, the daughter of Damaretus, erect while still a virgin in her father’s house ; for the goddess herself appeared to her, by the weft of her loom, like a flame of fire.
