Ælikovlǽpharos – (Elikoblepharus; Gr. ἑλικοβλέφαρος, EΛΙΚΟΒΛΕΦΑΡΟΣ) fluttering eyelids

Of august gold-wreathed and beautiful Aphrodite

I shall sing, to whose domain belong the battlements

of all sea-laved Cyprus where, blown by the moist breath of Zephyros,

she was carried over the waves of the resounding sea

in soft foam. The gold-filleted Horae

happily welcomed her and clothed her with heavenly raiment.

Then on her divine head they placed a well-wrough crown,

beautiful and golden, and in her pierced ears

flowers of brass and precious gold.

Round her tender neck and silver-white breasts

they decked her with golden necklaces such as the gold-filleted

Horae themselves are adorned with whenever they go

to lovely dances of the gods and to their father’s house.

And after they decked her body with every sort of jewel,

they brought her to the immortals, who saw and welcomed her,

giving her their hands and each one wished

that he might take her home as his wedded wife;

for they marveled at the looks of violent-crowned Kythereia.

Hail, honey-sweet goddess with the fluttering eyelids!

Grant me victory in this contest and arrange my song.
