First is the daughter of Zeus who holds the aegis, bright-eyed Athene for she has no pleasure in the deeds of golden Aphrodite, but delights in wars and in the work of Ares, in strifes and battles and in preparing famous crafts. Yet there are three hearts that she cannot bend nor yet ensnare. Muse, tell me the deeds of golden Aphrodite the Cyprian, who stirs up sweet passion in the gods and subdues the tribes of mortal men and birds that fly in air and all the many creatures that the dry land rears, and all the sea: all these love the deeds of rich-crowned Cytherea.
To the Dioscuri HOMERIC HYMNS 5 - 33, TRANSLATED BY H.
