This tomb holds Orpheus, by the Thracian foot of Olympus, the son of the Muse Calliope, whom oaks did not disobey, in whose company soulless rocks followed, and the herd of beasts who dwell in the forest. He once also discovered the mystical rites of Bacchus and fashioned the verse that is yoked to the heroic foot. He even bewitched with his lyre the grave mind and charm-proof heart of implacable Clymenus.
