The Great Mysteries: Crinagoras (First Century A.D.)

By The Greek Anthology

Translation of John William Mackail

THOUGH thy life be fixed in one seat, and thou sailest not the sea nor treadest the roads on dry land, yet by all means go to Attica, that thou mayest see those great nights of the worship of Demeter; whereby thou shalt possess thy soul without care among the living, and lighter when thou must go to the place that awaiteth all.
