Ourania's sweet-voiced cockerel, ruler of the lyre but with willing mind showered with hymns.
And yet a fourth time we would be honoring the son of Deinomenes if some held the scales of Justice he can be crowned with garlands, as the only man on earth who has accomplished this in the vale of Cirrha by the sea; and he has two Olympian victories to sing of as well. What is better than to be loved by the gods and to be granted a share of every kind of noble deed?

From there Aristoteles came to flourishing Cirrha, and was twice crowned, for the glory of horse-mastering Larisa
