First let us mention Orpheus, whom once Calliope herself is said to have born in Thrace, after sleeping with Oeagrus near the Pimpleian peak. But they say that by the sound of his songs he bewitched stubborn rocks and flowing rivers in the mountains. And even now wild oaks, traces of his song, flourish on the Thracian headland at Zone, ranged in rows, closely packed. He led them straight down from Pieria, bewitched by his lyre playing. Such was Orpheus, lord of Bistonian Pieria, whom Aeson’s son received as an ally in his trials, obeying the orders of Chiron.

First let us mention Orpheus, whom once Calliope herself is said to have given birth to in Thrace, after sleeping with Oeagrus near the Pimpleian peak. But they say that by the sound of his songs he bewitched stubborn rocks and flowing rivers in the mountains. And even now wild oaks, traces of his song, flourish on the Thracian headland at Zone, ranged in rows, closely packed. He led them straight down from Pieria, bewitched by his lyre playing. Such was Orpheus, lord of Bistonian Pieria, whom Aeson’s son received as an ally in his trials, obeying the orders of Chiron.
