The bath of Athena

By Callimachus

(Written ~ 3rd century BC)

Note: The "Bath of Athena," describes how Tiresias was blinded after seeing the naked goddess Athena, but gave a prophetic vision. The speaker of this anthem is officiating at the temple of Athena of Argos, preparing bath ritual of the statue of the Goddess.

All ye who are companions of the bathroom of Athena, come out, come out! I heard just now the snorting of his horses holy, and the goddess is ready to go. Hurry now, O girls blonde haired Pelasgos, hurry up! Athena never wash his strong arms before she drove the dust on the flanks of his horse - not even when his armor all smeared with filth, she returned from the war with the Giants lawlessness, but many At first she issued car, his horses' necks, and sources of Oceanus washed the sweat stains and gnawing their lips that bit: clean up the clotted foam.

Come, girls of Achaia, but does not, nor myrrh Alabaster (I hear the hum of the axle now!) Does not offer you mates from Bath, for myrrh Pallas, nor Alabaster (Athena for not wearing perfume), or you make a mirror: it is sure of her beauty. Not even when Paris held the contest on Mount Ida, the great goddess looked orichale not, nor in the seamless flow of river Simois or Hera. But Aphrodite took the bronze glow and often altered and amended again the same lock. Although my goddess, after running over a two to one hundred stage, the twin stars as Spartan on the banks of the Eurotas, then made his annointments simple: its olive oil, applied with skill and Blush, my dear girls, which was held until his body was like the color pink in the morning or seeds of the pomegranate. That's why now you bring that male virgin oil, with which Castor and anoint themselves with which Hercules. And bring him a comb while gold, which she can comb her hair when she anointed his hair bright.

Go forth, Athena! This agreeable companion in your heart waiting for you, girls maiden son of powerful Acestor. Athena, now, the old rite is begun, the shield is raised to Inachus Diomedes, a rite of Argos Eumedis taught by the priest of your beloved, who, at a time when he knew that people were plotting and planning his death, fled with your holy image of the hill called Creion - and you set in the rocks, you, O goddess, the cliffs, whose name is now Pallatid rocks .

Go forth, Athena, Sacker of Cities, Athena, helmeted gold, Athena, who rejoices in the crash of horses and shields. Come. Now, the city will drink small springs and fountains, but not in the river, the girls will dip into the pitchers Physadeia today's young girls will pool water where the girl Amymone life plexippus. For, mingling its waters with gold and flowers, the river flow Inachus its pastoral hills, bring water just for the bath of Pallas Athena. But beware, O Pelasgic river edges your eyes to the queen: the man who sees Pallas guard the cities, naked, look at Argos for the last time. Come, Lady Athena, and meanwhile I will say a bit about them. The story is not mine, but said by others.

There was a time in Thebes, my dears, Athena loved a nymph, loved to madness, loved more than any other, the mother of Tiresias, Chariclo by name, and has never been outside it. When Athena led his horses to the old or to Thespiae Coroneia or Haliartus, riding through the farmland of Boeotia - or about where his Coroneia Grove is heavy with incense and altars are located near the river Curalius - have often made the goddess of the series nymph.
