(First) Chorus

It is not in holy Athens

only that there are courts of the gods with fine colonnades, and the worship of Apollo, guardian of highways; but here, too, at the shrine of Loxias, son of Latona, shines the lovely eye of day on faces twain.
185

(Second) Chorus

Just look at this! here is the son of Zeus killing with his scimitar of gold the watersnake of Lerna. Do look at him, my friend!

Nicht in der göttlichen Stadt Athen nur

Sind saulengetragene Hallen

Der ewigen Götter und wird

Phobos verehrt an den Wegen:
180

Nein, bei Lorias auch, dem Sohn

Leto's, leuchtet des Zwillingspaares

Schönäugiges Antliz.¹

O sieh' hier, betrachte

Die lerndische Schlange: Zeus' Sohn²
185

Tödtet sie mit goldener Sichel; hieher wende das Auge!
