Orphic hymns in new translations by Catherine Dice
Hans Thomas. Jupiter ZEUS KERAVNA GRAY AMBER Thunderer Zeus, father of the living, brilliant ruler of the cosmos, With your lightning you pierce the sky, the highest tract of the ether. You shake the throne room of Olympus with strong blows, creator, You penetrate the blue sapphire clouds with a fiery arrow. You cause showers and storms, you burst into thunder in anger, You encourage fiery lightning and evil ones: fly forward!
