I shall sing again unto the fairest of those who are divine; unto the beauty and wisdom of Pallas Athena is this hymn; the gray-eyed goddess, first daughter of thunder-loving Zeus himself; unto she who in holding the aegis made quake not only the hearts and souls of mortals, but those of the gods themselves; again I now sing of Pallas Athena, our divine goddess; savior of cities, helper of those who come home from war; I sing again of our gray-eyed goddess of wisdom, beauty and peace.

    Hades himself; the wickedest of the divine, brother to thunder loving Zeus; he who is the lord of the Underworld; he himself loves our goddess of peace, longing for the purity of the wisdom, the kindness, all that is Pallas Athena; Hades himself does before all welcome her into his realm; she in her purity, she does rule the heart of Hades himself; never would his wickedness be unto her the cause of harm; Hades welcomes the grace of peace and wisdom that is the beauty of our beloved first daughter of Zeus.

  “Hail Pallas Athena!”  And I shall sing unto thee in another song as well.
