Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems
At the earth-oracle, year after year Dealing the messages of Zeus to men, Tell me what means this concourse at the temple, For coming with a message to the shrine From distant Lacedaemon, I beheld Guards clad in brazen armour, and the gates Held as in towns besieged, and through the city Not priests or victims, but a frightened band Of townsmen, men and women, talking o'er Some new event, of which I pray thee tell.
