Quotation
οἳ δ᾽ ἐπεὶ οὖν λεχέων εὐποιήτων ἐπέβησαν, κόσμον μέν οἱ πρῶτον ἀπὸ χροὸς εἷλε φαεινόν, πόρπας τε γναμπτάς θ᾽ ἕλικας κάλυκάς τε καὶ ὅρμους. λῦσε δέ οἱ ζώνην ἰδὲ εἵματα σιγαλόεντα ἔκδυε καὶ κατέθηκεν ἐπὶ θρόνου ἀργυροήλου Ἀγχίσης: ὃ δ᾽ ἔπειτα θεῶν ἰότητι καὶ αἴσῃ ἀθανάτῃ παρέλεκτο θεᾷ βροτός, οὐ σάφα εἰδώς.
