King Poseidon, the noblest of the great Zeus’s children,
you who received from your father the government on the whole creation;
and you, Hera, his pure wife, equally benevolent queen;
Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Bacchus
and Athena; you are the seven most powerful gods
of all others, after the one who rules, supreme, from above;
and you all inhabitants of the Olympus,
parents to all immortal things included the ones into us,
be to us propitious and benevolent.
George Gemistos Plethon
