Olympia viii. 95, 96.

A man doing fit things
Forgets Hades.

HERCULES NAMES THE HILL OF KRONOS.
Olympia x. 59–68.

He named the Hill of Kronos, for before nameless,
While Œnomaus ruled, it was moistened with much snow;
And at this first rite the Fates stood by,
And Time, who alone proves
Unchanging truth.

 

OLYMPIA AT EVENING.
Olympia x. 85–92.

With the javelin Phrastor struck the mark;
And Eniceus cast the stone afar,
Whirling his hand, above them all,
And with applause it rushed
Through a great tumult;
And the lovely evening light
Of the fair-faced moon shone on the scene.
