Chorus
Perhaps you may find the daughters of Leukippos beside the swell of the river or before the temple of Pallas, when at last you join in the dances or the revels of Hyakinthos
1465
in night-long joy—Hyakinthos, whom Phoebus killed with the round discus, contesting for the farthest throw—a day of the sacrifice of oxen in the Lakonian land;
1470
the son of Zeus declared that his race would be honored; and you may find the girl whom you left at home,
Hermione
, for as yet no torch has lit the way to her marriage.
