Rh The cities such of the Strymonian Sea,

The Achelôdès, near the Thracians' home.

And those tower-girded, distant from the coast,

Towns of the mainland, recognised his sway.

Those near Propontis' gulfs their site which boast,

Round Hellè's ample frith and Pontos' bay.

And islands of the main,

Fronting the headland that o'erlooks the sea,

Hard by this Asian plain;

Lesbos, and Samos crowned with olive-trees,

Mycŏnos, Paros, Naxos, Chios, these,

And Andros, joining Tenos neighbourly.

Ay, and each isle that lies

Midway between the mainlands he controlled;

Icăros' seat of old;
