by Kostis Palamas (1859 - 1943)

Γυρνά κι ορμά ο Μενέλαος
Language: Greek (Ελληνικά) 
Γυρνά κι ορμά ο Μενέλαος
με το σπαθί στο χέρι
το Θάνατο στην άπιστην
Ελένη να προσφέρη.

Αλλ’ εκείνη ολογάληνη
με τ’ ανθισμένο χέρι
το αντίχολο κι αντίλυτο
βοτάνι του προσφέρει.

Και το πίνει ο Μενέλαος,
και του πέφτει απ’ το χέρι
το σπαθί, κ’ ένα φίλημα
στην Ελένη προσφέρει.
