Hymn to the Curetes
- Guards of Persephone -

Leaping Curetes, Armored Dancers circling, beating measures with Your agile feet,
Battle rage fills You, and the fires transport You into the mad rhythms of the sounding lyre,
Silent as the Night's breath when You go forth,
Arm Bearers, Strong Defenders, Favorable Omens, Guards of Persephone,
Preserving rites mysterious and divine,
Come, and grant us benevolence.
Hear us, Oh Curetes rejoicing in the herds, and our mortal lives defend.
