Religion
Book VI, 271
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
Artemis, the son of Cichesias dedicated the shoes to thee, and Themistodice the simple folds of her ‘gown, because that coming in gentle guise without thy bow thou didst hold thy two hands over her in her labour. But Artemis, vouchsafe to see this baby boy of Leon’s grow great and strong.
