Translated by Catherine Proppe, April 7, 2014




26. Γῆς,

θυμίαμα πᾶν σπέρμα πλὴν κυάμων καὶ ἀρωμάτων.

To Ge[1]
Divine connection/incense: all seeds, plentiful beans, and aromatic spices


Γαῖα θεά, μῆτερ μακάρων θνητῶν τ' ἀνθρώπων,

Gaia[2] Goddess, Mother of blest immortals and humans,


πάντροφε, πανδώτειρα, τελεσφόρε, παντολέτειρα,

All-nurturing, all-giving, bringing all to fulfillment, in every way wondrous,


αὐξιθαλής, φερέκαρπε, καλαῖς ὥραισι βρύουσα,

Growing blooms, bearing fruit, calling-forth the Seasons[3] full to bursting,


ἕδρανον ἀθανάτου κόσμου, πολυποίκιλε κούρη,

Established immortally in the cosmos, with many diverse children,


ἣ λοχίαις ὠδῖσι κύεις καρπὸν πολυειδῆ,

Indeed, childbirth’s travail of pregnancy brings fruit of many ideations,


ἀιδία, πολύσεπτε, βαθύστερν', ὀλβιόμοιρε,

Eternal Goddess, much-reverenced, deep-hearted, whole life allotting,


ἡδυπνόοις χαίρουσα χλόαις πολυάνθεσι δαῖμον,

Sweet-breathing charming green sprouts’ much-blooming power,


ὀμβροχαρής, περὶ ἣν κόσμος πολυδαίδαλος ἄστρων

Rain-charmed; surrounded, indeed, by the cosmos’ countless fiery stars


εἱλεῖται φύσει ἀενάωι καὶ ῥεύμασι δεινοῖς.

Enveloping Phusis’[4] everlasting and flowing power.


ἀλλά, μάκαιρα θεά, καρποὺς αὔξοις πολυγηθεῖς

Yet, happy Goddess, fruitfully bloom prolifically, joyful Ge divine,


εὐμενὲς ἦτορ ἔχουσα, σὺν ὀλβίοισιν ἐν ὥραις.

Kindhearted foundation, synchronize whole lives in due season. 

 
[1] Ge is the immortal Goddess of generative Earth.


[2] Gaia is another name for Ge.


[3] The Horai are the beautiful immortal Goddesses of the Hours, the Seasons, the times for things to occur.


[4] Phusis is the immortal Goddess of Physics; of Nature.
