Hymn to Aristogeiton and Harmodius (Warriors) Lyrics
Wreathed in myrtle, my sword I'll conceal
Like those champions devoted and brave
When they plunged in the tyrant their steel
And to Athens deliverance gave
In fresh myrtle my blade will entwine
Like Harmodius, the gallant and good
When he made at the tutelar shrine
A libation of Tyranny's blood
Beloved heroes, your deathless souls roam
From the joy breathing isles of the blest
Where the mighty of old have their home
Where Achilles and Diomed rest
Wreathed in myrtle, my sword I will hide
Like those champions devoted and brave
For the glory of Greece, not denied
And as martyrs of freedom, they gave
Ye deliverers of Athens from shame
Ye avengers of Liberty's wrongs
Endless ages shall cherish your fame
Embalmed in their echoing songs
Beloved heroes, your deathless souls roam
From the joy breathing isles of the blest
Where the mighty of old have their home
Where Achilles and Diomed rest
Beloved heroes, your deathless souls roam
From the joy breathing isles of the blest
Where the mighty of old have their home
Where Achilles and Diomed rest
Like those champions devoted and brave
When they plunged in the tyrant their steel
And to Athens deliverance gave
Like Harmodius, the gallant and good
When he made at the tutelar shrine
A libation of Tyranny's blood
From the joy breathing isles of the blest
Where the mighty of old have their home
Where Achilles and Diomed rest
Like those champions devoted and brave
For the glory of Greece, not denied
And as martyrs of freedom, they gave
Ye avengers of Liberty's wrongs
Endless ages shall cherish your fame
Embalmed in their echoing songs
From the joy breathing isles of the blest
Where the mighty of old have their home
Where Achilles and Diomed rest
From the joy breathing isles of the blest
Where the mighty of old have their home
Where Achilles and Diomed rest
