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.

When Argus,
who could see all around with untiring eyes, was bidden by golden-robed Hera, the greatest queen, to guard the lovely-horned heifer, unresting and unsleeping;
and the son of Maia could not evade him, neither by shining day nor by sacred night. Did it then happen that
the swift-footed messenger [of Zeus] then killed [the son of Earth] with mighty offspring Argus? Or was it that unutterable cares?
Or did the Pierian Muses bring about rest from troubles ?
