Prayer to Zeus for Safety from the Storm

Glorious Zeus, king of the starry heavens, master

of the thunderstorm, swift-striking hurler

of firebolt and hailstone, we know your might well,

in torrents of rain, in winds that tear a man

from mother Gaia’s embrace. The summer showers

are yours, O Zeus, that bring the earth to life each year;

yours too is the windstorm, the cyclone, the typhoon.

Each season’s storms, O Zeus, that bear the names

of women and men, are yours to guide; your hand

it is that brings winged death to one house

while its neighbor stands untouched. I pray to you,

O god of the lightning, god of the wild winds,

grant to us your blessing, grant to us your favor,

grant to us your good will. O kind-hearted Zeus,

I pray to you, keep from us the terror of the storm.
