“Kithairon sang of cunning Kronos and sacred Rhea who stole her son Zeus, mighty among immortals. Then the Muses asked the gods to put their ballot stones in the urn of gold. All stood up and Kithairon won the greater part. Hermes shouted loud, at once proclaiming sweet victory. The gods adorned his brow with flowers, and Kithairon rejoiced. But Helikon was stunned with bitter rage, and tore a massive boulder from the mountain. Insanely he shouted and lobbed the rock down on thousands of mortals below.” — Korinna
Kithairon sang of cunning Kronos
and sacred Rhea who stole her son Zeus,
mighty among immortals.
Then the Muses asked the gods to put
their ballot stones in the urn of gold.
All stood up and Kithairon won
the greater part. Hermes shouted loud,
at once proclaiming sweet victory.
The gods adorned his brow with flowers,
and Kithairon rejoiced. But Helikon
was stunned with bitter rage, and tore
a massive boulder from the mountain.
Insanely he shouted and lobbed the rock
down on thousands of mortals below.
