Chorus

May he come to the ships! May he reach the army of Hellas and spy it out, then turn again and reach the altars of his father’s

home in Ilium !

235

May he mount the chariot drawn by Phthia ’s horses, when our master has sacked Achaea ’s camp,

those horses that the sea-god gave to Peleus, son of Aeacus.
