## Text

### unit_1

Μουσάων ἄρχωμαι Ἀπόλλωνός τε Διός τε· ἐκ γὰρ Μουσάων καὶ ἑκηβόλου Ἀπόλλωνος ἄνδρες ἀοιδοὶ ἔασιν ἐπὶ χθονὶ καὶ κιθαρισταί, ἐκ δὲ Διὸς βασιλῆες· ὁ δ’ ὄλβιος ὅν τινα Μοῦσαι φίλωνται· γλυκερή οἱ ἀπὸ στόματος ῥέει αὐδή. Χαίρετε τέκνα Διὸς καὶ ἐμὴν τιμήσατ’ ἀοιδήν· αὐτὰρ ἐγὼν ὑμέων τε καὶ ἄλλης μνήσομ’ ἀοιδῆς.
