Teksterne er bearbejdet uf fra Danskernes Historie Online, en gammel beskrivelse af en spadseretur i Ørstedsparken af Charles Haugbøll 1933.
1) Den hvilende Hermes. Det fortælles i mytologien, at Hermes blev født om morgenen og allerede inden middag listede han sig bort fra vuggen og ud på æventyr. Aldrig så snart havde han forladt den hjemlige arne, før han møder en skildpadde, som han straks dræber og omdanner dens skjold til en lyre, hvorefter han straks giver sig til at besynge alt hvad han ser, også sin fader Zeus’ svigefulde elskovsforbindelse med hans egen moder „den hulde Maia“.
Hermes var vindens og stormens gud og tillige gud for alle legemsøvelser. Desuden var han gudernes, og særlig Zeus’ sendebud og det er netop som sådan han her er fremstillet, hvilende sig et øjeblik på sin fart gennem himmelrummet. Det er den unge og spædlemmede Hermes, der sidder her på toppen af et bjerg. I hånden holder han et budskab, på fødderne har han vinger og under fodsålen et lille R.
2) Jeanne D'Arc. Det er den syttenårige bondepige fra Champagne i nærheden af Lotringens grænse, vi ser her. Hun kaldes også Jomfruen fra Orleans eller La Pucelle, hvilket jo på fransk betyder ungmø. Det var hende, der i 1429 mente, at Gud ved hendes hjælp vilde føre franskmændene til sejr over englænderne. Så stærk var hendes tro, at hun fik den ellers ret skeptiske Karl d. 7. til at indvillige i, at hun går med hæren mod Orleans. Og den 29. April rider hun med sin hvide fane ind i den belejrede by. Det lykkes virkelig for hende ved sin begejstring at opflamme franskmændene til angreb, og det mærkelige sker — våbenlykken vender sig til gunst for de franske. Her ser vi hende halvt siddende, halvt knælende i græsset.
3) Natalie Zahle. Natalie Zahle, der er født den 11. Juni 1827 i Assens ved Horsens og død i København den 11. August 1913, var skolebestyrerinde, men dermed er intet sagt om hendes liv og virke. Skolebestyrerinde er et ord der er alt for fattigt til at rumme hvad Frk. Zahle var og fremdeles er for dansk skolevæsen. Hun var grundlæggeren af Natalie Zahles Pigeskole. En Skole der omfatter alle den kvindelige uddannelses forskellige trin indtil studenter- og seminarieeksamen. En undervisningsanstalt som hun ganske langsomt byggede op fra intet; thi hun begyndte ganske beskedent som guvernante 15 år gammel. Skolen støder op til Ørstedsparken. Hendes monument er udført af Ludvig Brandstrup, der er født i Tranekær 1861 på Langeland.
4) Den Belvederiske Apollon.
Apollon blev en af grækernes mægtigste guder. Da Leto var gravid med Apollon, måtte hun flygte fra den jaloux Hera, Zeus' kone. Leto flakkede om for at finde et sted, der turde modtage hende og det ventede barn. Hun fandt et fristed på den omdrivende ø Delos, og her bragte hun Apollon og hans tvillingesøster Artemis til verden. Apollon kan sende sine dødbringende pile overalt og er også en aggressiv gud. Han vogter over menneskene, så længe de er rene og moralsk ansvarlige. Hans attributter er buen og lyren og æbletræet er indviet til ham.
Med kvinderne har Apollon ikke det store held, de vil ikke vide af ham. Det går bedre på det krigeriske område: han erobrer Delfi fra Gaia. På Delfi, hvor han og hans søster er født, har Apollon sit orakel, der råder i moralske sager. Han overtog Delfi efter at have gjort det af med den gamle hersker over stedet, Python, og regnes blandt de dragedræbende guder. Statuen er en kopi af statuen, der står i Vertikanstaten i Rom.
5) Ørsteds kvinder. Nedenfor fysikeren, H.C. Ørsted sidder de tre nordiske skæbnegudinder, Urd, Verdande og Skuld. Urd skriver fortiden på en tavle, Verdande spinder nutiden på en ten, og Skuld afventer fremtiden med en runestav.

The final coordinates are given at the Labcache.
The texts are excerpts from Danskernes Historie Online, an old description of a walk in Ørstedsparken by Charles Haugbøll in 1933.
1) The resting Hermes. It is said in mythology that Hermes was born in the morning and already before noon he sneaked away from the cradle and went on an adventure. No sooner had he left the homely hearth than he met a tortoise, which he immediately killed and transformed its shell into a lyre, after which he immediately began to sing about everything he saw, including his father Zeus' treacherous love affair with his own mother "the lovely Maia".
Hermes was the god of the wind and storm and also the god of all physical exercises. He was also the messenger of the gods, and especially of Zeus, and that is exactly how he is depicted here, resting for a moment on his flight through the sky. It is the young and infantile Hermes who sits here on top of a mountain. He holds a message in his hand, he has wings on his feet and a small R under the sole of his foot.
2) Joan of Arc. This is the seventeen-year-old peasant girl from Champagne near the border of Lorraine that we see here. She is also called the Maid of Orleans or La Pucelle, which in French means maiden. It was she who believed in 1429 that God would use her to lead the French to victory over the English. Her faith was so strong that she convinced the otherwise rather skeptical Charles VII to agree to her leading the army against Orleans. And on April 29, she rode into the besieged city with her white banner. Her enthusiasm really succeeded in inciting the French to attack, and the strange thing happened — the fortunes of war turned in favor of the French. Here we see her half-sitting, half-kneeling in the grass.
3) Natalie Zahle. Natalie Zahle, who was born on June 11, 1827 in Assens near Horsens and died in Copenhagen on August 11, 1913, was a school principal, but nothing is said about her life and work. School principal is a word that is far too poor to contain what Ms. Zahle was and still is for the Danish school system. She was the founder of Natalie Zahle's Girls' School. A school that includes all the different stages of female education up to the student and seminary exams. An educational institution that she very slowly built up from nothing; for she started very modestly as a governess at the age of 15. The school is adjacent to Ørstedsparken. Her monument was made by Ludvig Brandstrup, who was born in Tranekær in 1861 on Langeland.
4) The Belvedere Apollo.
Apollo became one of the most powerful gods of the Greeks. When Leto was pregnant with Apollo, she had to flee from the jealous Hera, Zeus' wife. Leto wandered to find a place that would dare to receive her and the expected child. She found sanctuary on the wandering island of Delos, and here she gave birth to Apollo and his twin sister Artemis. Apollo can send his deadly arrows anywhere and is also an aggressive god. He watches over humans as long as they are pure and morally responsible. His attributes are the bow and the lyre, and the apple tree is consecrated to him.
Apollo is not very lucky with women, they do not want to hear from him. Things go better in the warlike field: he conquers Delphi from Gaia. At Delphi, where he and his sister were born, Apollo has his oracle, which rules in moral matters. He took over Delphi after getting rid of the old ruler of the place, Python, and is counted among the dragon-slaying gods.
5) Ørsted's women. Below the physicist, HC Ørsted, sit the three Norse goddesses of fate, Urd, Verdande and Skuld. Urd writes the past on a tablet, Verdande spins the present on a ten, and Skuld awaits the future with a rune staff.
