Chorus
May you come at last, speeding over your horses’ path through the sky, sons of Tyndareus, under the whirling of the radiant stars; you who dwell in heaven, Helen’s rescuers,
1495
go over the gray-green swell and the dark gray surge of sea-waves, sending the sailors
1500
favoring breezes from Zeus; and cast away from your sister her ill-fame from marriage with a barbarian, the punishment she received from the contest on Ida;
1505
but she never went to the land of
Ilion
, to the towers of Phoebus.
