Book VI, 349
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
O Meticertes, son of Ino, and thou sea-blue queen of the sea, Leucothea, goddess that avertest evil, and ye Nereids linked in the dance, and ye waves, and thou, Poseidon, and Thracian Zephyr, gentlest of winds, be gracious unto me and bear me, escaping the broad billows, safe to the sweet beach of Piraeus.
