Ode 6
For Lachon of Ceos [Boys'] Foot Race at Olympia 452 B. C.

Lachon has won from greatest Zeus the best glory with his feet by the streams of the Alpheus ... [the victories] through which before [5] Ceos rich in vines has been sung at Olympia as victorious in boxing and the foot race, by young men, luxuriant with garlands in their hair. [10] And now by the will of Victory, the hymn of Ourania, ruler of song, honors you, wind-footed son of Aristomenes, in songs before your house, [15] since by your triumph in the foot race you brought glory to Ceos.

Bacchylides. Diane Arnson Svarlien. Odes. 1991.
