In the name of the God of strangers, we beg you
Carry tidings, man, to our father
Charinus in Aeolian Thebes,
Menis and Polynicus have ceased to be.
Say this also: we do not repine
At the treacherous lot assigned us,
Although we fell by the hand of the Thracians, but
For old age lying heavily on himself,
In harsh bereavement.
– from the Greek Anthology, translated by John Heath-Stubbs and Carol A. Whiteside
