Yet we Muses, who are his kin, honour your city and visit it more than any other. And Orpheus, the cousin of this corpse whom you have killed, revealed the torchlit processions of the secret mysteries. Musaeus, too, your reverend citizen, who has acquired greater renown than any other individual, was trained by Phoebus and by us, his kin.
