ὀρεστέρα παμβῶτι Γᾶ, μᾶτερ αὐτοῦ Διός,

Bergmutter, Erd', Alnährerin, welcher Zeus selbst entsproß,¹
385

Die waltet bei Paktolos' großem, goldnem Strom!

Schon dort, hehre Mutter, dort rief ich zu dir,

Da schmachvollen Hohn ihm des Atreus Geschlecht bot,

Da sie des Vaters Wehr ihm an Laertes' Sohn

Hingaben, als des Ruhms höchsten Preis,
390

du Sel'ge, die auf Berglöwen hoch,

Den Stierwürgern, thront!

Chorus

Goddess of the hills, Earth all-nourishing, mother of Zeus himself, you through whose realm the great Pactolus

rolls golden sands! There, there also, dread Mother, I called upon your name, when all the insults of the Atreids landed upon this man, when they handed over his father’s armor, that sublime marvel,
395

to the son of Laertes . Hear it, blessed queen, who rides on bull-slaughtering lions!
