Καλλιόπη σοφίην ἡρωίδος εὗρεν ἀοιδῆς:
Κλειὼ καλλιχόρου κιθάρης μελιηδέα μολπὴν
Εὐτέρπη τραγικοῖο χοροῦ πολυηχέα φωνὴν
Μελπομένη θνητοῖσι μελίφρονα βάρβιτον εὗρε:Τερψιχόρη χαρίεσσα πόρεν τεχνήμονας αὐλούς:
ὕμνους ἀθανάτων Ἐρατὼ πολυτερπέας εὗρε:
τέρψιας ὀρχηθμοῖο Πολύμνια πάνσοφος εὗρεν
[ἁρμονίην πάσῃσι Πολύμνια δῶκεν ἀοιδαῖς:]
Οὐρανίη πόλον εὗρε καὶ οὐρανίων χορὸν ἄστρωνκωμικὸν εὗρε Θάλεια βίον καὶ ἤθεα κεδνά.

the sweet music of the lyre which accompanies the
dance ; Euterpe the sonorous voice of the tragic
chorus ; Melpomene found for mortals the honey-
toned barbitos, and charming Terpsichore gave us
the artful flute ; Erato invented cheering hymns to
the gods ; learned Polymnia the joys of the dance ;
Urania discovered the pole and the dance of the
stars of heaven, and Thalia the plots and good moral
teaching of comedy.
