Stesichorus/Stesicoro – Apollo

22/03/2020 24/03/2020 / By booksofart / Ancient Greek Poets / dance, death, mythology
Lorenzo Costa, The reign of Comus, 1511

Apollo loves dances and games
and songs most of all,
but mourning and lamentation belong to Hades.

(Transl. by C. M. Bowra)

Apollo ama le danze,
gli scherzi, le canzoni.
Tocca al dio della morte il lutto e il pianto.
