Pan aimait Ekhô | Pan aimait Ekhô, sa voisine ; Ekhô brûlait pour un satyre bondissant

by Moschus (flourished 150 BCE)

Translation by Charles-Marie-René Leconte de Lisle (1818 - 1894)

Ἤρατο Πὰν Ἀχῶς τᾶς γείτονος, ἤρατο δ̓...

Language: Greek (Ελληνικά)

Ἤρατο Πὰν Ἀχῶς τᾶς γείτονος, ἤρατο δ̓ Ἀχὼ 
σκιρτατᾶ Σατύρω, Σάτυρος δ̓ ἐπεμήνατο Λύδᾳ. 
ὡς Ἀχὼ τὸν Πᾶνα, τόσον Σάτυρος φλέγεν Ἀχώ, 
καὶ Λύδα Σατυρίσκον: Ἔρως δ̓ ἐσμύχετ̓ ἀμοιβᾷ.
5ὅσσον γὰρ τήνων τις ἐμίσεε τὸν φιλέοντα, 
τόσσον ὁμῶς φιλέων ἠχθαίρετο, πάσχε δ̓ ἃ ποίει. 
ταῦτα λέγω πᾶσιν τὰ διδάγματα τοῖς ἀνεράστοις: 
στέργετε τὼς φιλέοντας, ἵν̓ ἢν φιλέητε φιλῆσθε.

Pan aimait Ekhô, sa voisine ; Ekhô...

Language: French (Français) after the Greek (Ελληνικά)

Pan aimait Ekhô, sa voisine ; Ekhô brûlait pour un satyre bondissant, 
et le satyre dépérissait pour Lyda. 
Autant Ekhô aimait le satyre, autant le satyre aimait Lyda, 
autant Lyda aimait Pan. Ainsi Erôs les enflammait. 
Autant chacun d'eux aimait celui qui le haïssait, 
autant chacun haïssait celui qui l'aimait. 
Et j'enseignerai ceci à ceux qui sont étrangers à Erôs : - 
Aimez ceux qui aiment, afin d'être aimés par eux.
