If
someone is successful in his deeds, he casts a
cause for sweet thoughts into the streams of the
Muses. For those great acts of prowess dwell in
deep darkness, if they lack songs, and we know of
only one way to hold a mirror up to fine deeds:
if, by the grace of Mnemosyne with her splendid
headdress, one finds a recompense for toils in
glorious song.
-- Pindar |
