Three times she raised her arms to stars and sky,
And three times wheeled about and three times splashed
Her hair with moonlit water from a brook
Three times she screamed, then fell upon her knees
To pray: ‘O night, night, night!
Whose darkness holds
All mysteries in shade, O flame-lit stars,
Whose golden rays with Selene floating near
Are like the fires of day – and you, O Hekate
Who know untold desires that work our will
And art the mistress of our secret spells.

Medea in Ovid’s Metamorphoses
