Divine into Greek Verses

Cairetw se Melisa,

Indeed, I believe that the link between the verses of poetry can be the identity of Muse. Although, in Hymns the verses and words have more power of “desire” for honouring the Gods and the divine! In Homers and in Orphic hymns you can easily accept the idea that the celestial relation between words and man is the currently honoured God or Goddess!

Here is the original Greek text for my initial posted Orphic hymn:

DioV AstrapewV

Kiklhskw megan, agnon, erismaragon,
perifanton,
herion, flogoenta, puridromon,
herofeggh,
astraptonta selaV nefewn
patagodromw audh,
frikwdh, brumhnin, anikhton qeon agnon, 5
astrapea Dia, paggenethn, basilha
megiston,
eumeneonta ferein glukerhn biotoio
teleuthn.

Yours,

Nikolaos Cleomenes
