That is the gods' work, spinning threads of death through the lives of mortal men, an all to make a song for those to come.
Goddess of song, teach me the story of a hero.
It is always the latest song that an audience applauds the most.
One man is a splendid fighter -- a god has made him so -- one's a dancer, another skilled at lyre and song, and deep in the next man's chest farseeing Zeus plants the gift of judgment, good clear sense. And many reap the benefits of that treasure.
Among all men on the earth bards have a share of honor and reverence, because the muse has taught them songs and loves the race of bards.
You will certainly not be able to take the lead in all things yourself, for to one man a god has given deeds of war, and to another the dance, to another lyre and song, and in another wide-sounding Zeus puts a good mind.
