Apollo Playing The Lute by Briton Riviere
And as Apollo played his enchanting music for Admetus’ flocks, the spotted lynxes came out of the Othrys valley to join them, and so did a pride of fiery-blond lions and the dappled fawn. Moved by the charming music of your lyre, Apollo, they had stepped out from behind the fir trees and with their airy feet, rejoiced in a dance.
- Euripides, Alcestis (trans. George Theodoridis)

To Eros
In that I loved you, Love, I worshipped you; In that I worshipped well, I sacrificed. All of most worth I bound and burnt and slew: The innocent small things, fair friends and Christ.
I slew all falser loves, I slew all true, For truth is the prime lie men tell a boy. Glory I cast away, as bridegrooms do Their splendid garments in their haste of joy.
But when I fell and held your sandalled feet, You laughed; you loosed away my lips; you rose. I heard the singing of your wings' retreat; And watched you, far-flown, flush the Olympian snows, Beyond my hoping. Starkly I returned To stare upon the ash of all I burned.
—Wilfred Owen (1883)
#eros#eros deity#i'm subjecting you all to my favorite poet#this is a bittersweet one. Love is as beautiful as it is terrifying#owen couldn't have chosen a better namesake for the poem's title

Hermes, herald of Zeus, lord of roads
Protect those beloved who travel afar
May them come home, safe from harm
Be it by land, heavens or sea
May you be by their side, Hermes of the winged feet
