Greek Texts & Translations

If it is right for me with prayer to adore the Unseen Goddess and you, Lord of the Dead, then hear me, Aidoneus, Aidoneus! 1560Grant that without pain, without a fate arousing heavy grief, the stranger may pass to the all-concealing fields of the dead below, and to the Stygian house. 1565Many were the sorrows that came to him without cause, but a just divinity will lift him up again.
