ἄστρα· Ἀττικοὶ τοὺς ἀστέρας
‘astra: Athenians; the stars.’
Ἦν δ' οὐδὲν αὐτοῖς οὔτε χείματος τέκμαρ οὔτ' ἀνθεμώδους ἦρος οὔτε καρπίμου θέρους βέβαιον, ἀλλ' ἄτερ γνώμης τὸ πᾶν ἔπρασσον, ἔστε δή σφιν ἀντολὰς ἐγὼ ἄστρων ἔδειξα τάς τε δυσκρίτους δύσεις.
‘And they didn't have any sign - neither of winter, nor of flowery spring, nor of fruitful summer - that was certain, but they did it all without sense, until I then showed them the risings of the stars and the hard to discern settings.’
