Χορός

ἦ που κόρας ἂν ποταμοῦ
1465

παρʼ οἶδμα Λευκιππίδας ἢ πρὸ ναοῦ

Παλλάδος ἂν λάβοις

χρόνῳ ξυνελθοῦσα χοροῖς

ἢ κώμοις Ὑακίνθου

νύχιον ἐς εὐφροσύναν,
1470

ὃν ἐξαμιλλησάμενος

τροχῷ τέρμονα δίσκου

ἔκανε Φοῖβος, τᾷ Λακαί-

νᾳ γᾷ βούθυτον ἁμέραν·

ὁ Διὸς δʼ εἶπε σέβειν γόνος·
1475

μόσχον θʼ, ἃν οἴκοις

ἔλειπες, Ἑρμιόναν,

ἇς οὔπω πεῦκαι πρὸ γάμων ἔλαμψαν.

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.
1475

Leukippos' Jungfrauen erblickst¹

Du wohl am hinrauschenden Strom, vor Pallas'

Ehernem Hause, wann

Du spåt die Chorreigen besuchst, oder am Fest Hyakinthos'²
1390

Bei der Nacht Jubelschall,

Den Phobos einst, als er im Kampf zum Ziel schnellte die

Scheibe,

Todtet'; (und dem Lakonerland hieß ein rinderopferndes Fest

Fromm begehen der Sohn des Zeus:) du wirst schaun das verlassene Kind,

Dem die Hochzeitsackel noch nicht geleuchtet.
1395
Zweite Strophe.
