SIXTH OF DAILY HYMNS, TO BE CHANTED THE SEVENTH DAY

Back

Happy is he who, even being favoured,

isn’t cause of evil for men, because of a terrible foolishness,

but instead cause of good things, similar to the blissful gods.

Happy is he who doesn’t neglect the common good

of his breed, but instead, aware that the gods

care of the common deed, doesn’t abandon it.

Happy is he who thanks the gods, for what

he has, and above all thanks Zeus himself,

from whom what is beautiful and good for everyone took origin.

George Gemistos Plethon

translated by Manuela Simeoni
