Religion
Book VI, 222
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
The sea disturbed under the rays of Orion washed ashore this thousand-footed scolopendra on the rocks of Iapygia, and the masters of the deep-laden twenty-oared galleys dedicated to the gods this vast rib of the hideous monster.
