Χορός

ἆρά ποτʼ αὖθις ἁ παλαιὰ Τροΐα
360

τοὺς προπότας παναμερεύ-

σει θιάσους ἐρώτων

ψαλμοῖσι καὶ κυλίκων οἰνοπλανή-

τοις ὑποδεξίαις ἁμίλ-

λαις κατὰ πόντον Ἀτρειδᾶν
365

Σπάρταν οἰχομένων

Ἰλιάδος παρʼ ἀκτᾶς;

ὦ φίλος, εἴθε μοι

σᾷ χερὶ καὶ σῷ δορὶ πρά-

ξας τάδʼ ἐς οἶκον ἔλθοις.

Chorus

Shall old Troy once more at last spend the whole day in drinking toasts and singing love’s praise, while the bewildering wine-cup sends a capacious challenge round,
360

as over the sea for Sparta the sons of Atreus quit the Ilian strand? O friend, with your arm and spear may you do me this service, then safe return.

CHORUS.

And men shall tell of thee, Ilion mine,
360

Once more a-harping at day’s decline,

’Mid laughing of lovers and lays and dances

And challenge on challenge of circling wine?

When the Greek is smitten that day shall be,

And fled to Argolis over the sea:
365

O mighty of hand, O leader of lances,

Smite him, and heaven be good to thee!
