XXII. To Highest Zeus

by Homer fl. c. 8th century BC

Translated by Andrew Lang (1899)


To Zeus the best of Gods will I sing; the best and the greatest, the far- beholding lord who bringeth all to an end, who holdeth constant counsel with Themis as she reclines on her couch. Be gracious, far-beholding son of Cronos, thou most glorious and greatest.
