Hymn to Zagreus

Sing of Zagreus, oh muse
 Slayer of hydras
 First of his name
 Born of Zeus as a serpent
 In spite of Queen Hera
 Zagreus came
 Torn to shreds by the Titans
 Devoured in pieces
 From his heart aflame
 The seed of Dionysus grew
 The God of wine and feast anew
 To live at home on Olympus
 Never presuming his origins true
 Wrath of thunder and lightning
 Struck down the Titans
 Burned into sand
 Up from out of the ashes
 Born of the Titans
 The mortals did stand
 To live the model of the gods
 At once divine and further flawed
 In twain the blood of immortals
 Of Zagreus ending
 It flows in their veins
 The prince under the mortal ring
 Prisoner to his king
 Never to leave
 Steadfast
 Endlessly toiling
 Doomed to remain
 Endlessly toiling
 Doomed to remain
