Religion
Book VI, 275
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
With joy, methinks, Aphrodite will receive this offering from Symaetha, the caul that bound her hair ; for it is delicately wrought and hath a certain sweet smell of nectar, that nectar with which she, too, anoints lovely Adonis.
