Religion
Book VI, 173
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
Acuryuts, Rhea’s Phrygian lady-in-waiting, who often under the pines loosed her consecrated hair, who often uttered from her lips the sharp cry, painful to hear, that Cybele’s votaries use, dedieated her hair here at the door of the mountain goddess, where she rested her burning feet from the mad race.
