[OOM:
Thereafter, for nine days did the Lady Demeter
wander all over the earth, holding torches ablaze in her hands.
Not once did she take of ambrosia and nectar, sweet to drink,
in her grief, nor did she bathe her skin in water.]
From Homeric Hymn to Demeter, translated by Gregory Nagy. Tiny tag: Demeter
