Chorus
So then you have delivered into
Achaea
’s hand, O Zeus, your shrine in
Ilium
and your fragrant altar, the offerings of burnt sacrifice with smoke of myrrh to heaven uprising,
1060
and holy
Pergamos
, and glens of Ida tangled with the ivy’s growth, where rills of melting snow pour down their flood, a holy sun-lit land that bounds the world
1065
and takes the god’s first rays!
1070
