Satyrus, Lost at Sea

Anthologia Palatina 7.397 = Erycius of Thessaly (Hadrianic period?) This wretched tomb does not belong to Satyrus, Nor does Satyrus sleep beneath this pyre, Despite what people say.  But if you’ve heard By chance of a certain sea, that bitter stretch That surges near Mycale where goats are herded, It’s in those eddying, unfruitful waters That I lie still, reproaching raging Boreas.  Οὐχ ὅδε δείλαιος Σατύρου τάφος, οὐδ’ ὑπὸ ταύτῃ,     ὡς λόγος, εὔνηται πυρκαϊῇ Σάτυρος· ἀλλ’ εἴ πού τινα πόντον ἀκούετε, πικρὸν ἐκεῖνον,     τὸν πέλας αἰγονόμου κλυζόμενον Μυκάλης, κείνῳ δινήεντι καὶ ἀτρυγέτῳ ἔτι κεῖμαι     ὕδατι, μαινομένῳ μεμφόμενος Βορέῃ.
