O son of Philanor, verily even thy swift feet’s glory + 

Had as dead leaves faded, unmarked, uncrowned, + 

There by the hearth of thy fathers: thy name had been heard not in story; + 

As a home-fighting cock hadst thou been unrenowned, + 

Had contention in Knossus of burgher with burgher in conflict gory + 

In the homeland not left thee no foot of ground. + 

But now at Olympia, Ergoteles, winning a victory-garland + 

And at Isthmus, at Pytho, twain⁠—by these + 

Thou exaltest to honour the steaming Baths of the Nymphs in a far land, + 

On thine own lands dwelling in stormless peace. + 
