Pythia X, 33-48

Fortunate and celebrated By the wise is that man Who, conquering by his hands or virtue Of his feet, takes the highest prizes Through daring and strength, And living still sees his youthful son Deservedly obtaining Pythian crowns. The brazen heaven is not yet accessible to him. But whatever glory we Of mortal race may reach, He goes beyond, even to the boundaries Of navigation. But neither in ships, nor going on foot, Couldst thou find the wonderful way to the contests of the Hyperboreans.
