Hugh G. Evelyn-White’s translation (1914) · Hymn XV — To Heracles The Lion-Hearted Compare side by side
Of the healer of diseases, Asclepius, I begin to sing, the son of Apollo, whom fair Coronis bore in the Dotian plain, the daughter of King Phlegyas; a great joy to men was her son, and the soother of evil pains. Even so do thou hail, O Prince, I pray to thee in my song.
