Χορὸς Γυναικῶν
ἔγωγε γὰρ
ἂν οὔποτε κάμοιμʼ ἂν ὀρχουμένη,
†οὐδὲ τὰ γόνατα κόπος ἕλοι μου καματηρόσ†·
ἐθέλω δʼ ἐπὶ πᾶν ἰέναι
μετὰ τῶνδʼ ἀρετῆς ἕνεχʼ, αἷς
ἔνι φύσις, ἔνι χάρις, ἔνι θράσος,

ἔνι δὲ σοφόν, ἔνι
δὲ φιλόπολις
ἀρετὴ φρόνιμος.

WOMEN.
I could dance, dance, dance, and be fresher after,
I could dance away numberless suns,
To no weariness let my knees bend.

Earth I could brave with laughter,
Having such wonderful girls here to friend.
O the daring, the gracious, the beautiful ones!
Their courage unswerving and witty
Will rescue our city.
