And Homer:--

"And on the seventh then came the sacred day."

And:--

"The seventh was sacred."

And again:--

"It was the seventh day, and all things were accomplished."

And again:--

"And on the seventh morn we leave the stream of Acheron."

Callimachus the poet also writes:--

"It was the seventh morn, and they had all things done."

And again:--

"Among good days is the seventh day, and the seventh race."

And:--

"The seventh is among the prime, and the seventh is perfect."

And:--

"Now all the seven were made in starry heaven,

In circles shining as the years appear."

The Elegies of Solon, too, intensely deify the seventh day.
