A new entry is added with the story of The
Bath of Athena by Callimachus (3rd century BCE). The "Bath of Athena"
describes how Teiresias went blind after seeing the Goddess Athena naked
but was given prophetic vision. The speaker of this hymn is an officiant
at the temple of Athena of Argos, preparing for the ritual bath of the
statue of the Goddess.
