Melete:

O lovely Aphrodite, your beauty is like that of a flower

Nectar so sweet, petals so fragile

You sprung from the earth, showering us in your glamor

The bees flock to you, in awe of your essence

To you I dedicate this blossoming wonder

Erato:

O Hades, why must you love 

Leave that for the arrows

In the shadows of Helicon

The wind blows amidst the dry grass

As Demeter weeps the loss of her daughter

To the hands of Hades

Telxinoe:

The whistling through the nights was no more.

Her beauty was gone as the silence dripped on 

Broken wings, with glittering light shining through 

Not long after the virgin maiden crossed the river Styx 

Two coins exchanged, Charon’s boat rowed

Hades had welcomed both the beloved companions.

A peaceful tomb for pet and girl alike 

Tears spilled for a forgotten tomorrow.

Calliope: 

O you who loved so strong, 

enough to face the wrath of Hephaestus,

With Ares, sipping wine and indulging in the juicy fruit of the vine,

from whose bed sprung Eros

Please send your lovely blessings to our feast 

Mneme:

Golden Aphrodite, spun in threads of honey,

composer of Aspasia’s saccharine affections.

I kneel before your mamoreal effigy, Goddess who honors me.

Receive my love, and adorn me in your grace.

Aoide: 

Oh Noble Hades:

The others express fear of you, 

But I am unafraid.

Like a nurturing mother,

You have embraced many of my familiars under your wing,

Though unwelcomed, you feel like a long-time companion, 

Even though I am not ripe of age.
