22. ΕΙΣ ΠΟΣΕΙΔΩΝΑ
Ἀμφὶ Ποσειδάωνα, μέγαν θεόν, ἄρχομ᾿ ἀείδειν, γαίης κινητῆρα καὶ ἀτρυγέτοιο θαλάσσης, πόντιον, ὅς θ᾿ Ἑλικῶνα καὶ εὐρείας ἔχει Αἰγάς. διχθά τοι, Ἐννοσίγαιε, θεοὶ τιμὴν ἐδάσαντο, 5ἵππων τε δμητῆρ᾿ ἔμεναι σωτῆρά τε νηῶν.
χαῖρε, Ποσείδαον γαιήοχε κυανοχαῖτα, καί, μάκαρ, εὐμενὲς ἦτορ ἔχων πλώουσιν ἄρηγε.
22. To Poseidon
About Poseidon the great god first I sing, mover of the earth and the barren sea, marine god, who possesses Helicon and broad Aegae. In two parts, Earth-shaker, the gods assigned you your privilege: to be a tamer of horses, and savior of ships.
I salute you, Poseidon, earth-rider, sable-hair. Keep your heart well disposed, blessed one, and assist those at sea.
