“Sed sive armigerae rident Tritonidis arces seu Lacedaemonio tellus habitata colono Sirenumve domus, det primos versibus annos”

1913 translation by Michael Heseltine, W. H. D. Rouse, E. H. Warmington But whether the fortress of armoured Tritonis smiles upon him, or the land where the Spartan farmer lives, or the home of the Sirens, let him give the years of youth to poetry, and let his fortunate soul drink of the Maeonian fount.

“Hanc, ut fama, deus, quem toto litore pontus Audit ventosa perflantem marmora concha, Hanc et Pallas amat, patrio quae vertice nata Terrarum primam Libyen—nam proxima caelo est, Ut probat ipse calor—tetigit, stagnique quieta Voltus vidit aqua posuitque in margine plantas”

1928 translation by J. D. Duff This lake, as legend tells, is dear to the god, who is heard by all the sea-shore as he fills the waters with the music of his windy shell; and dear to Pallas too. When she was born from her father’s head, she alighted on Libya before any other land; for Libya, as its heat alone proves, is nearest the sky; and there she saw her face in the still water of the pool, and stood by its brink, and called herself Tritonis after the lake she loved.

“stridoremque rotae cadentis audis; / quae Tritonide fertilis Athenas / unctis, Baetica, provocas trapetis”
