Sie führen mich ohne Verzug fort!
Und ihr, o Götter von Thebä, seht

Von der Könige Stamm mich übrig allein;
Seht, was ich erduld' und erdulde von wem,
Da mir Heiliges heilig gegolten!

Chorus
So too endured Danae in her beauty to change
the light of the sky for brass-bound walls, and in that chamber, both burial and bridal, she was held in strict confinement. And yet was she of esteemed lineage, my daughter,
945
and guarded a deposit of the seed of Zeus that had fallen in a golden rain. But dreadful is the mysterious power of fate—there is no deliverance from it by wealth or by war, by towered city, or dark, sea-beaten ships.

Chorus
And Dryas’s son, the Edonian king swift to rage, was tamed in recompense for his frenzied insults, when, by the will of Dionysus, he was shut in a rocky prison. There the fierce and swelling force of his madness trickled away.
955
That man came to know the god whom in his frenzy he had provoked with mockeries. For he had sought to quell the god-inspired women and the Bacchanalian fire,
960
and he angered the Muses who love the flute.

Chorus
And by the waters of the Dark Rocks, the waters of the twofold sea, are the shores of
Bosporus
and the Thracian city Salmydessus,
where Ares, neighbor of that city, saw the accursed, blinding wound inflicted on the two sons of Phineus by his savage wife. It was a wound that brought darkness to the hollows, making them crave vengeance
970
for the eyes she crushed with her bloody hands and with her shuttle for a dagger.

Chorus
Wasting away in their misery, they bewailed their miserable suffering
and their birth from their mother stripped of her marriage. But she traced her descent from the ancient line of the Erechtheids, and in far-distant caves she was raised amidst her father’s gusts. She was the child of Boreas,
980
running swift as horses over the steep hills, a daughter of gods. Yet she, too, was assailed by the long-lived Fates, my child.
