For indeed, once the ruler of horse-taming Lydia,
Croesus—when Zeus was bringing about the decreed fate, and Sardis was being sacked by the Persian army—Croesus was protected by the god of the golden lyre,

Apollo. When he had come to that unexpected day,
Croesus had no intention of waiting any longer for the tears of slavery. He had a pyre built before his bronze-walled courtyard,

and he mounted the pyre with his dear wife and his daughters with beautiful hair;
they were weeping inconsolably. He raised his arms to the steep sky
