| I begin to sing of the great god Poseidon | |
| who shifts the earth and barren sea, | |
| god of the waters, and of Helike and wide Aigai. | |
| Earthshaker, the gods allotted you a double honor | |
| as tamer of horses and savior of ships. | |
| Farewell, Poseidon, blue-haired god who holds earth; | |
| with a kind heart, Blessed One, aid those who sail. |
