Homeric Poet (trans Athana**akis) - Homeric Hymn to Helios lyrics

O Muse Kalliope, begin to sing again of brilliant Helios whom cow-eyed Euryphaessa bore to the son of Gaia and starry Ouranos. Hyperion married his own sister, the glorious Euryphaessa, who bore him beautiful children: rosy-armed Eos, fair-tressed Selene, and tireless Helios, so much like the immortals; he shines his light on both men and immortal gods as he rides his horses. His eyes gaze fiercely from his golden helmet, while his luminous rays glisten brilliantly and the shining cheek-pieces descend from his head over his temples and border his graceful and effulgent face. On his skin a beautiful and finely woven garment shimmers as the winds blow, and his stallions After he stays his golden-yoked chariot and horses there, he wondrously sends them to the ocean through the sky. Hail, O lord! Kindly grant me livelihood that cheers the heart. Starting with you I shall glorify the race of mortal men, the demigods whose deeds the gods have showed to men.
