Hymn to Aphrodite X

Homeric Hymns

Of Kytherea, born in Kypros, I will sing.
She gives kindly gifts to men; smiles are ever on her lovely face, and lovely is the brightness that plays over it.
Hail, goddess, queen of well-built Salamis and sea-girt Kypros; grant me a cheerful song.
And now I will remember you and another song also.
