And yet a fourth time we would be honoring the son of Deinomenes if some ⋯ held the scales of Justice ⋯
he can be crowned with garlands, as the only man on earth who has accomplished this in the vale of Cirrha by the sea; and he has two Olympian victories to sing of as well. What is better than to be loved by the gods
and to be granted a share of every kind of noble deed?
Ode 5
For Hieron of Syracuse Single-horse victory at Olympia 476 B. C.

Fortunate in your fate, commander of the Syracusans, riders of whirling horses: you,
if any man on earth today, will rightly understand this honor, sweet gift of the violet-garlanded Muses. Now, calm your righteous mind; rest it from cares, and consider: a hymn, woven with the help of the deep-waisted Graces,
