To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are also four hexameters of great beauty, addressed in old age to the Spartan maidens. He laments that he can no longer take part in their songs and dances and wishes he were some bright-coloured sacred sea-bird " that over the foam of the sea with dauntless heart amid the halcyons flies." His lines descriptive of the stillness of night have all the vividness, if not the pathos, of Goethe's Ueber alien Gipfeln ist Ruh'.
(8) Arion (c. 625) was a native of lycsbos, which he left probably ea...rly, before the days of Alcaeus and Sappho. He spent most of his life at the court of Periander of Corinth, where he became famous as a minstrel and song-writer. According to Herodotus, as well as Aristotle, he was " the first to invent the dithyramb measure." More probably he adapted the rough measures and boisterous ribaldry of the old Cyclic, or dithyramb, chorus, sung at vintage dances in honour of Dionysus. There is nothing of Arion' s poetry extant, although the historian Aelian (third century a.d.) quotes verses in which Arion himself is supposed to give an account of his rescue by the dolphin.
