Of navigation. But neither in ships, nor going on foot,

Couldst thou find the wonderful way to the contests of the Hyperboreans.

TO ARISTOCLIDES, VICTOR AT THE NEMEAN GAMES

Nemea iii, 32-37

If, being beautiful,

And doing things like to his form,

The child of Aristophanes

Went to the height of manliness, no further

Is it easy to go over the untraveled sea,

Beyond the Pillars of Hercules.
