Chorus
O land of hills, land of our righteous veneration, what is to be our lot? To what region in the Apian land are we to flee, if anywhere there be some dark hiding-place? Ah that I might become black smoke
that draws near to the clouds of Zeus; or, soaring aloft without wings, vanish out of sight like viewless dust and dissolve into nothingness!
780
Chorus
The evil is no longer escapable;
my heart is darkened and trembling; the look-out my father held has brought me ruin. I am undone with terror. Rather would I meet my doom in a noose
785
than suffer the embraces of a man I loathe. Death before that, with Hades for my lord and master!
790
Chorus
Ah that somewhere in the upper air I might find a seat against which the dank clouds turn into snow, or some bare, inaccessible crag,
beyond sight, brooding in solitude, beetling, vulture-haunted, to bear witness to my plunge into the depths before I am ever forced into a marriage that would pierce my heart!
795
Chorus
Thereafter I refuse not to become a booty for dogs and a banquet for the local birds; for death is freedom from misery-loving evils. Come death, death be my doom,
800
before the marriage-bed! How can I yet find some means of escape to deliver me from marriage?
805
Chorus
Shriek aloud, with a cry that reaches heaven, strains of supplication to the gods;
O father, give heed that they are somehow accomplished to my safety and tranquility. Behold deeds of violence with no kind glance in your just eyes!
810
Have respect for your suppliants, O Zeus, omnipotent upholder of the land!
815
Chorus
For the males of the race of
Aegyptus
, intolerable in their wantonness, chase after me,
a fugitive, with clamorous lewdness and seek to lay hold of me with violence. But yours alone is the beam of the balance, and without you what is accomplished for mortals?
