λέγουσι δʼ ὥς τις εἰσελήλυθε ξένος ,
γόης ἐπῳδὸς Λυδίας ἀπὸ χθονός ,
ξανθοῖσι βοστρύχοισιν εὐοσμῶν κόμην ,
οἰνῶπας ὄσσοις χάριτας Ἀφροδίτης ἔχων ,
ὃς ἡμέρας τε κεὐφρόνας συγγίγνεται
τελετὰς προτείνων εὐίους νεάνισιν .

But people are talking about a certain Lydian stranger hanging around too .
A sort of magician .
Huckster .
Swoony type ,
long hair , bedroom eyes , cheeks like wine .
He mingles with the young girls night and day ,
claiming to show them some sort of mystic thing ,
