What was the most beautiful thing you left behind?

Adonis, in response to a question from the Shades in the Underworld ("What was the most beautiful thing you left behind?"), answers:

κάλλιστον μὲν ἐγὼ λείπω φάος ἠελίοιο,

δεύτερον ἄστρα φαεινὰ σεληναίης τε πρόσωπον


(Finest of all the things I have left is the light of the sun,

Next to that the brilliant stars and the face of the moon)


Praxilla of Sicyon, 5th century BC
