Beloved by Artemis |
Stag-like golden antlers |
With hooves of bronze |
Sacred to Artemis |
This Ceryneian doe |
The anger of Hera and king Eurystheus |
For killing the Lion and Hydra |
This third task for me will be full of doom |
Thou shall not kill this beast |
Nor shall thou skin |
Thou will feel the suffering when it’s dead |
Stag-like golden antlers |
With hooves of bronze |
Sacred to Artemis |
This Ceryneian doe |
After my awakening from the travels way up north |
I spotted this heavenly creature with antlers |
Wich gleamed in the sun |
Afraid of Artemis' anger |
I will not slay |
Barefootedly I’ll chase it down |
On the mountain slopes of Ceryneia |
And for the length of thirteen full moons |
I barefootedly chased this hind |
We ran from north to south, from east to west |
Troughout thrace, istria |
And the land beyond the north wind |
It was not to be captured during sleep |
Not to be caught with mesh |
It could outrun my lightspeeding arrows |
This beatiful, beloved and sacred creature of Artemis |
Artemis |
Forgive me from this desecration |
It’s part of my penance |
My forever guilt |
On the last full moon I passed |
The gates of Artemis' temple |
The Ceryneian Hind laid down |
Before the shrine |
Stag-like golden antlers |
With hooves of bronze |
The Hind returned to the goddess |
As it flees from the king |
