Another inscription, said to have been written by Simonides for the tombs of the heroes of Thermopylae, is as follows: Happy they, the chosen brave, Whom Destiny, whom Valor led To their consecrated grave 'Mid Thessalia's mountains dread.
Loved alike by Air and Water Aye must be Thessalia's daughter; To us, Olympian hearts, are given Spells that draw the moon from heaven. All that Egypt's learning wrought All that Persia's Magian taught Won from song, or wrung from flowers, Or whisper'd low by fiend are ours. Spectre of the viewless air! Hear the blind Thessalian's prayer!
