Chorus
Dark straits of the sea, dark, where the gadfly flying from
Argos
crossed over the inhospitable wave . . . taking the Asian land in exchange for
Europe
. Whoever are the ones who left the lovely waters
395
of Eurotas, green with reeds, or the holy streams of Dirce, to come here, to come to the unsociable land, where, for the divine maiden, the blood of mortals stains
400
the altars and columned temples?
