Time, the grand Arachne
Weaves the web of fate
Grafting into it death's
venomous sting
Here, kneels the arrogant man
Before the temple of the past
of the present
and of the future, amen.
Χρόνος, η μεγαλειώδης Αράχνη
Υφαίνει τον ιστό της μοίρας
μπολιάζοντάς τον με του θανάτου
το ιοβόλο κεντρί
Εδώ προσκυνά ο υπερφίαλος άνθρωπος
Στο ναό του παρελθόντος,
του παρόντος
και του μέλλοντος, αμήν.
The symbolism of Greek Mythology is unparalleled. But better still is the use of myths, like these to produce poetic and memorable grandeur, in poems, such as this. Well done, my friend!

I would like to translate this poem
A poetic gem that vividly depicts a sacred tale. The stings of arrogance will lead us to nothingness. Another brilliant write.
