For a Statue of Æscalupius Poem by Theocritus

For a Statue of Æscalupius



Far as Miletus travelled Paean's son;
There to be guest of Nicias, guest of one
Who heals all sickness; and who still reveres
Him, for his sake this cedarn image rears.
The sculptor's hand right well did Nicias fill;
And here the sculptor lavished all his skill.

translated by C. S. Calverley
