εἰ χλαμύδ᾽ εἶχεν Ἔρως, καὶ μὴ πτερά, μηδ᾽ ἐπὶ νώτων
τόξα τε καὶ φαρέτραν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐφόρει πέτασον,
ναί, τὸν γαῦρον ἔφηβον ἐπόμνυμαι, Ἀντίοχος μὲν
ἦν ἂν Ἔρως, ὁ δ᾽ Ἔρως τἄμπαλιν Ἀντίοχος.

Si Éros avait la chlamyde et point d’ailes, ni carquois, ni flèches sur les dos, mais portait le pétase, j’en jure par le tendre éphèbe, Antiochos serait Éros et, à l’inverse, Éros Antiochos.
