ἐν μὲν γαῖαν ἔτευξ ' , ἐν δ ' οὐρανόν , ἐν δὲ θάλασσαν ,
ἠέλιόν τ ' ἀκάμαντα σελήνην τε πλήθουσαν ,
ἐν δὲ τὰ τείρεα πάντα , τά τ ' οὐρανὸς ἐστεφάνωται ,
Πληϊάδας θ ' Ὑάδας τε τό τε σθένος Ὠρίωνος
Ἄρκτόν θ ' , ἣν καὶ Ἄμαξαν ἐπίκλησιν καλέουσιν ,
ἥ τ ' αὐτοῦ στρέφεται καί τ ' Ὠρίωνα δοκεύει ,
οἴη δ ' ἄμμορός ἐστι λοετρῶν Ὠκεανοῖο .
ἐν δὲ δύω ποίησε πόλεις μερόπων ἀνθρώπων
καλάς . ἐν τῇ μέν ῥα γάμοι τ ' ἔσαν εἰλαπίναι τε ,
νύμφας δ ' ἐκ θαλάμων δαΐδων ὕπο λαμπομενάων

water
,
and the tireless sun , and the moon waxing into her fullness ,
and on it all the constellations that festoon the heavens ,
the Pleiades and the Hyades and the strength of Orion
and the Bear , whom men give also the name of the Wagon ,
who turns about in a fixed place and looks at Orion
and she alone is never plunged in the wash of the Ocean .
On it he wrought in all their beauty two cities of mortal
men . And there were marriages in one , and festivals .
They were leading the brides along the city from their maiden chambers
and the tireless sun , and the moon waxing into her fullness ,
and on it all the constellations that festoon the heavens ,
the Pleiades and the Hyades and the strength of Orion
and the Bear , whom men give also the name of the Wagon ,
who turns about in a fixed place and looks at Orion
and she alone is never plunged in the wash of the Ocean .
