80. Βορέου, θυμίαμα λίβανον.
To Boreas, God of the North Wind
Divine medium: libanon (frankincense)
Χειμερίοις αὔραισι δονῶν βαθὺν ἠέρα κόσμου,
Wintry winds, profound, turbulent air of the cosmos,
κρυμοπαγὴς Βορέα, χιονώδεος ἔλθ’ ἀπὸ Θράικης
Icing all, Boreas’ snow arrives from Thrace,
λῦέ τε παννέφελον στάσιν ἠέρος ὑγροκελεύθου
Liberated from clouds’ aerial stations, traveling the path of rain,
ῥιπίζων ἰκμάσιν νοτεραῖς ὀμβρηγενὲς ὕδωρ,
Gusts of moist storm-born water blow south,
αἴθρια πάντα τιθείς, θαλερόμματον αἰθέρα τεύχων
Clearing all, setting in place an abundance of aithereal creations
ἀκτίνες ὣς λάμπουσιν ἐπὶ χθονὸς ἠελίοιο.
That radiate the light of Helios on earth.
NOTES
Boreas (Βορέας, Βορίαις, Βορέης, Βορῆς, Βορρᾶς) is the immortal God of the north wind, literally “base (Β) + entity (ο) + flow (ρ) + .”
Thrace is a region northeast of Greece. Greece’s winter winds come out of the northeast.
