68. For Hygeia

Incense: manna

Charming, lovely, the much-nourishing queen

of all, attend, blessed Hygieia,

bringing happiness, mother of all things;

for by you, the diseases of mortals

perish; and every home blossoms with joy

because of you. The arts ripen, the world

longs for you, lady. And only Hades,

killer of souls, ever hates you, always

blooming, the prayerful respite of mortals.

For without you, everything is harmful

to humans, nor is there sweet wealth, giver

of blessings in abundance, nor do men

achieve much-toiling old age without you.

For you alone rule all things and govern

over everything. But, goddess, arrive

at this mystic rite; ever helpful, draw

off the ill-fated grief of hard disease.

Note: The spelling of the goddess’s name in the title is not an error; both spellings are attested, and both appear in this hymn. The Pythagoreans called the pentagram, the five-pointed unicursal star, the Hygieia. The letters of her Greek name——are sometimes arranged around the points of the pentagram, treating the digraph as one letter. Of course, if one uses the spelling in the title, each point can have a single letter.
