Albe
A They established the first democratic government
They contributed to art, science, and philosophy
They valued perseverance, bravery, and strength
He saw the townlands
and learned the minds of many distant men,
and weathered many bitter nights and days
in his deep heart at sea while he fought only
to save his life to bring his shipmates home.
But not by will nor valor could he save them,
for their own recklessness destroyed them all
children and fools they killed and feasted on
the cattle of Lord Helios the Sun
and he who moves all day through heaven
took from their eyes the dawn of their return
Of these adventures Muse daughter of Zeus,
tell us in our time lift the great song again
They believed the gods were active in people's lives.
They emphasized the importance of physical fitness
