Thence my forefathers sprang, the Aigeïdae,

Who, by the Gods’ grace destiny-led,

To Thera fared of old, whence also we

That Feast inherited

Of sacrifice wherein all people share,

And in thy feast Karneian, King

Apollo, of Kyrene builded fair

The glorious honour sing,

Where dwell the brazen-harnessed Trojan strangers,

Antenor’s sons, who fled the war

Wherein they saw Troy burnt, and came, sea-rangers,

With Helen from afar.
