and a well-made Laconian hat on his head with its fire-red hair. A purple tunic covers his chest, and a woolen Thessalian cloak.
Bright red Lemnian fire flashes from his eyes. He is a boy in the prime of youth, intent on the playthings of Ares: war and battles of clashing bronze.
He is on his way to splendor-loving Athens.
Ode 19 (Dithyramb 5)
Io: for the Athenians

1
There are countless paths of divine song for one who has received gifts from the Pierian Muses,
and upon whose songs the violet-eyed maidens, the garland-bearing Graces, cast honor. Now, much-praised Cean ingenuity, weave something new, in lovely,
prosperous Athens . It is fitting for you to travel the greatest road, since you have received an outstanding honor from Calliope.
