Chorus
Oh yes, it was in truth a glorious and good life under civil government that we enjoyed so long as our aged
and all-powerful king, who did no wrong and did not favor war, god-like Darius, ruled the realm.
855
Chorus
In the first place we showed to the world armies worthy of our fame, and civil institutions, like towers in strength,
regulated all the state; and our return from war brought back our men, unworn and unsuffering, to happy homes.
860
Chorus
And what a number of cities he captured!—
without crossing the stream of Halys or even stirring from his own hearth: such as the Acheloan
1
cities on the Strymonian sea which is located beside
865
the Thracian settlements.
870
Chorus
And those outside the lake, the cities on the mainland, surrounded with a rampart, obeyed him as their king;
those, too, that boast to be on both sides of the broad
Hellespont
and Propontis, deeply-recessed, and the outlet of
Pontus
.
875
Chorus
The sea-washed islands, also, off the projecting arm
Chorus
And he held under his sway the sea-girt islands midway between the continents,
Lemnos
, and the settlement of Icarus, and
Rhodes
, and
Cnidos
, and the Cyprian cities
Paphos
,
Soli
, and
Salamis
,
890
whose mother-city is now the cause of our lament.
895
Chorus
And the rich and populous cities of the Hellenes in the Ionian heritage
he controlled by his own will; and at his command he had an unwearied strength of men-at-arms and of allies from every nation. But now,
900
worsted completely in war through disasters on the sea, we endure this change of fortune no doubt from the hand of god.

Then could we show to the skies great hosts and a glorious name,
And laws that were stable in might; as towers they guarded our fame!
There without woe or disaster we came from the foe and the fight,
In triumph, enriched with the spoil, to the land and the city's delight.
