Archons (Ownage)

Anactoria, Atthis, Andromeda, Mnasidika, Eranna

Anactoria/Anaktoria

Thus quickly is bent the will of that woman
To whom things near and dear seem to be nothing.
So mightest thou fail, My Anactoria,
If she were with you.

Atthis

But to thee, Atthis, the thought of me is hateful; thou fliest to Andromeda.

Mnasidica/Mnasidika

More shapely is Mnasidica, than gentle Gyrinno.

(Fr. 74)
One more scornful than thee, O Eranna, I have never found.

Gongyla

Be kind to me
Gongyla; I ask only
that you wear the cream
white dress when you come

Abanthis, take your lyre and sing
of Gongyla, while desire once again
flutters around
the beautiful girl: her dress
excited you when you saw it,

Timas

Here rests the dust of Timas who, unwed,
Passed the dark portals of Persephone.
With sharpened metal, when her spirit fled,
Her mourning friends each shore her fair-tressed head.
