The song by Hermes’ child, Glad-tidings, chanted + 

Shall Iphion hear, his bright Olympic fame, + 

And to Kallimachus shall tell the same, + 

The glory Zeus to this old House hath granted. + 

With triumph on triumph may he crown their name, + 

And aye avert affliction’s bitter blow! + 

And, for the glory in their lot, may never + 

God’s jealousy make Nemesis their foe. + 

May he exalt them and their country, ever + 

Vouchsafing them a life unvexed of woe. + 
