people of Phigalia, O, people

of stallion-mated Deo’s hidden cave,

you came for a cure of painful famine,

in exile twice, living wild twice,

no one but you: and Deo took you home,

made you sheaf-carriers and oatcake-eaters,

makes you live wild now, because you stopped

your fathers’ worship, her ancient honours.

You shall consume yourselves, be child-eaters

if your whole people will not soothe her spleen,

and dress the deep cave in divine honours.306
