On the slopes of mount Cirfis

By the city of Delphi

Lived a giant water dragon

Sybaris terrorized them all

Every month she demanded

Innocent boy to devour

Apollo’s priests drew the lots

Alcyoneus was next

Crowned with roses, a cheering crowd

The procession began

And they encountered

Eurybatus the warrior

Soldier stopped procession

Inquired about his fate

Discovering in great horror

He asked to free the boy

“Sacrifice me in his place”

They denied his request

But allowed him to join them

The reached the sacrifice

And all withdrew except

The young boy and the warrior

Dragon emerged from the cave

Expecting a defenseless youth

Then she met eurybatus

The warrior did attack



He slew the great dragon

The scourge of the Dragoness

It came to a bitter end

And a sparkling spring appeared

All along her last breathe

Many years later they founded

Eurybatus, in his honor

A city in Italy, they called Sybaris

In memory of this feat

Sybaris

Mighty Dragon

Terrorize the people

And eat them all

One by one

Until the days are done

Suffer!
