May supple-footed theatre-growing ivy
always dance on your glittering
monument, godlike Sophokles:
and your grave be sprinkled by bull-begotten
bees and run with Hymettos honey, 
like Athenian wax tablets for ever,
and your hair crowned with ivy for ever.

– from the Greek Anthology, translated by Peter Levi
