A Vision of Hera

Thy beauteous form before me, it did seem,
appeared, O mistress Hera, in a dream.
As first, by fervent prayers called,
to Atreus' royal sons of old.

For when they Ares' work completed had,
from where the streams of the Scamander sped
they started hither for their home,
but first to Argos could not come.

Until they prayed to thee and Zeus thy lord,
and also Thyone's lovely child implored
with incense-offerings even now
their townsmen keep their ancient vow.

– Sappho (from The lyric songs of the Greeks: The extant fragments of Sappho, Alcaeus, Anacreon, and the minor Greek monodists, by Walter Petersen, Badger 1918, translated from the Egyptian papyri)
