Ἀρετή
Ἐστί τις λόγος τὰν Ἀρετὰν ναίειν
δυσαμβάτοισ' ἐπὶ πέτραις,
ἐγγὺς δέ μιν θεῶν χῶρον ἁγνὸν ἀμφέπειν·
οὐδὲ πάντων βλεφάροισι θνατῶν
ἔσοπτος, ᾧ μὴ δακέθυμος ἱδρὼς
ἔνδοθεν μόλῃ,
ἵκῃ τ' ἐς ἄκρον ἀνδρείας.

There Is A Saying About Virtue
There Is A Saying About Virtue:
She Nestles In Rough Untroden Rocks
And Reigns A Divine, Sacred Land.
Not All Mortals Can See Her.
Only Those, Whose Burning Desire
In Their Heart
Leads Them To The Greatest Deeds
