33] XXXIII. TO APOLLO [APOLLON] The Fumigation from Manna. Blest Pæan, come, propitious to my pray'r, illustrious pow'r, whom Memphian tribes revere, -- singing with triumph to the tribes of memphis that ruled from drayada the place up borth. where did the mempheeans go? everywhere.... the son of the Pæan is the chorus of peoples sing the same divine dirge. Slayer of Tityus, and the God of health, Lycorian Phœbus, fruitful source of wealth . --TITYOS (or Tityus) was a Phokian giant who assaulted the goddess Leto as she was on her way to Delphoi. Her son Apollon came to the rescue and despatched the giant with his arrows and golden sword. As further punishment for the crime, Tityos was condemned to eternal torment in the underworld. There he was staked to the ground and two vultures set to feed on his ever regenerating liver. His name might be derived from the Greek word tisis, meaning "he who suffers retribution." Alternatively Tityos may be connected with the Tityroi, a Boiotian name for flute-playing satyrs. In this guise he resembles another of Apollon's opponents, Marsyas. Certain elements of his story also closely resemble those of the Boiotian giant Orion and the Titan Prometheus. from http://www.theoi.com/Gigante/GiganteTityos.html Phoebus Apollo is one of the appolos. He is a god of health and fruitful prosperity bringer. http://atlantisonline.smfforfree2.com/index.php?topic=14128.0 Spermatic, golden-lyr'd, the field from thee receives it's constant, rich fertility. sperma or seeder( sperm in greek * (elacian) is seed as in grain. of a golden divine song played on lyritha the field of its heaven even on earth remains fertile and prosperous and thus rich.

O, Delian king, whose light-producing eye views all within, and all beneath the sky: --Of the de;ean line, see earlkier posts on orphic hims on this blog. Delian League: modern name of the Athenian alliance, founded after the Persian Wars as a military organization directed against the Achaemenid Empire, but converted by the Athenian politician Pericles into an Athenian empire. The Spartans launched the Peloponnesian War (431-404) to force the Athenians to give up the Delian League. Origin In 480, the Persian king Xerxes invaded Greece, defeated his enemies at Artemisium and Thermopylae, and sacked Athens. Although his navy was severely damaged in the naval battle of Salamis, it was obvious that the Persians were the strongest. So, the great king recalled many troops (perhaps because Babylonia was unquiet.) This gave the Greeks the breathing space they needed, and they defeated Xerxes' right-hand man Mardonius at Plataea. More or less at the same time, a Greek expeditionary force attacked the remains of the Persian navy at Mycale, and started to liberate the Greek towns in Asia Minor. from http://www.livius.org/de-dh/delian_league/delian_league.html of the delian right of kings and authority through ancient greece of ptolemies right passed through orpheus and appolo drathi also known as Zues dathena the fifth zues and lovers of whales, his walk with the divine (God) was partly in the sea. the fish grathi of fruitful seeds in the sea, his family tree runs through those who discovered them eons before him, very ancient name. The ways fostered by this enlightenment taught one to both look inwards and out. I will continue this tommorow.... Whose locks are gold, whose oracles are sure, who, omens good reveal'st, and precepts pure: Hear me entreating for the human kind, hear, and be present with benignant mind; For thou survey'st this boundless æther all, and ev'ry part of this terrestrial ball Abundant, blessed; and thy piercing sight, extends beneath the gloomy, silent night; Beyond the darkness, starry-ey'd, profound, the stable roots, deep fix'd by thee are found. The world's wide bounds, all-flourishing are thine, thyself all the source and end divine: 'Tis thine all Nature's music to inspire, with various-sounding, harmonising lyre; Now the last string thou tun'ft to sweet accord, divinely warbling now the highest chord; Th' immortal golden lyre, now touch'd by thee, responsive yields a Dorian melody. All Nature's tribes to thee their diff'rence owe, and changing seasons from thy music flow Hence, mix'd by thee in equal parts, advance Summer and Winter in alternate dance; This claims the highest, that the lowest string, the Dorian measure tunes the lovely spring . Hence by mankind, Pan-royal, two-horn'd nam'd, emitting whistling winds thro' Syrinx fam'd; Since to thy care, the figur'd seal's consign'd, which stamps the world with forms of ev'ry kind. Hear me, blest pow'r, and in these rites rejoice, and save thy mystics with a suppliant voice. http://www.theoi.com/Text/OrphicHymns1.html
