For Demeter winnowing, for the Hours who haunt the furrows,
out of his needy ploughland Heromax took
a share of threshed corn and all-seed vegetables
and put them on this flat-topped tripod here,
a little out of his little: for the piece of land he got
here on the bitter hill-crest is not big.
– from the Greek Anthology, translated by Alistair Elliot
