ἐπὶ τῶν δελφίνων ἐπικροτοῦσαι ἡμίγυμνοι αἱ
πολλαί, τό τε τῶν Τριτώνων γένος καὶ εἴ τι ἄλλο μὴ φοβερὸν
ἰδεῖν τῶν θαλαττίων ἅπαντα περιεχόρευε τὴν παῖδα:
ὁ μὲν γὰρ Ποσειδῶν ἐπιβεβηκὼς ἅρματος, παροχουμένην
τὴν Ἀμφιτρίτην ἔχων προῆγε γεγηθὼς ὁδοποιῶν
νηχομένῳ τῷ ἀδελφῷ: ἐπὶ πᾶσι δὲ τὴν Ἀφροδίτην δύο
Τρίτωνες ἔφερον ἐπὶ κόγχης κατακειμένην, ἄνθη παντοῖα
ἐπιπάττουσαν τῇ νύμφῃ. 4. ταῦτα ἐκ Φοινίκης ἄχρι
τῆς Κρήτης ἐγένετο: ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐπέβη τῇ νήσῳ, ὁ μὲν ταῦρος
οὐκέτι ἐφαίνετο, ἐπιλαβόμενος δὲ τῆς χειρὸς ὁ Ζεὺς
ἀπῆγε τὴν Εὐρώπην ἐς τὸ Δικταῖον ἄντρον ἐρυθριῶσαν
καὶ κάτω ὁρῶσαν: ἠπίστατο γὰρ ἤδη ἐφ᾽ ὅτῳ ἄγοιτο.
ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐμπεσόντες ἄλλο ἄλλος τοῦ πελάγους μέρος διεκυμαίνομεν.
Νότος
ὦ μακάριε Ζέφυρε τῆς θέας: ἐγὼ δὲ γρῦπας
καὶ ἐλέφαντας καὶ μέλανας ἀνθρώπους ἑώρων.
