lyrics

Hymn to Zeus

Zeus was born alpha, Zeus omega, god
of the bright bolt, Zeus head, Zeus center,
by Zeus, all’s made, Zeus substratum of
earth and the heaven of stars, Zeus male,
Zeus immortal female, Zeus breath of all,
Zeus rush of unrelenting fire, Zeus root
of the ocean, Zeus sun and moon, Zeus
the god of lightning, Zeus author of birth:
one power, one daemon, the master of all,
one king’s body, inside which the universe
is turning, fire, water, earth, air, night, day,
old ancestor, wisdom, love, such pleasure,
all things in union inside colossal Zeus.
If you would see his face, beauty, look at
the shining heaven, as his long gold hair,
the radiant stars, beauty, floats in the air,
and bull’s horns, golden, on both sides,
both rising and setting, the celestial gods,
his eyes the sun and the opposite moon,
his mind the truth, the sovereign undying
air, in which he moves, and considers all,
no voice, no shout, no noise, that is not in
the ears of Zeus, son of Kronos, this god,
immortal mind, his body burning like fire,
unbounded, unbothered, unfearing, strong-
armed, and almighty, he was made like this:
wide shoulders, chest, back, the god the air,
with sway, wings grow on which all things
fly, belly holy earth, and the mothering hills,
and the high mountains, and under his belt
the swell of the sea, heavy, and howling,
and the soles of his feet roots down into
the dirt, old Tartaros, and the last borders,
at the world’s ends. After hiding all things
away, out of his holy heart, into the light,
delight, he hauls them, and does wonders.
