Text
οἷος δ’ Ἴσθμιον εἶσι Ποσειδάων ἐς ἀγῶνα,
ἅρμασιν ἐμβεβαώς, ἢ Ταίναρον ἢ ὅγε Λέρνης
ὕδωρ ἠὲ κατ' ἄλσος Ὑαντίου Ὀγχηστοῖο,
καί τε Καλαύρειαν μετὰ δὴθ' ἅμὰ νίσσεται ἵπποις
Πέτρην θ’ Αἱμονίην, ἢ δενδρήεντα Γεραιστόν:
τοῖος ἄρ’ Αἰήτης Κόλχων ἀγὸς ᾖεν ἰδέσθαι.
Translation
Like Poseidon, when he goes to the Isthmian games mounted in his chariot, or to Taenarus or Lerna's waters or to his precinct at Hyantian Onchestus, and often travels with his horses to Calaurea and Haemonian Petra or forested Geraests--such was Aeetes, leader of the Colchians, to behold.
