Mopsus, caused them to land, and to pay drink-offerings due.

So furled they the sail in haste, and the hawsers forth they threw;

And there on the strand round Sthenelus’ grave-mound gathered they.

Drink-offerings they poured, and the fatlings of sacrifice did they slay.

And, besides the libations, an altar they built, laying thighs on the blaze

To Apollo the Saviour of Ships; and his lyre did Orpheus upraise

And dedicate; wherefore the ‘Lyre’ from that day called they the place.

Then straight, when the wind blew strong, did they board the galley again, {930}

And they dropped the sail from the yard, and the feet thereof did they strain

On either hand with the sheets; and over the sea did she fly
