Χορός

τί κακόν, ὦ γύναι, χθονοτρεφὲς ἐδανὸν

ἢ ποτὸν πασαμένα ῥυτᾶς¹ ἐξ ἁλὸς ὄρμενον²

νῦν μὲν δικάζεις ἐκ πόλεως φυγὴν ἐμοὶ

καὶ μῖσος ἀστῶν δημόθρους τ᾽ ἔχειν ἀράς,

οὐδὲν τότ᾽⁵ ἀνδρὶ τῷδ᾽ ἐναντίον φέρων:

ὃς οὐ προτιμῶν, ὡσπερεὶ βοτοῦ μόρον,
1415

μήλων φλεόντων εὐπόκοις νομεύμασιν,

ἔθυσεν αὑτοῦ παῖδα, φιλτάτην ἐμοὶ

ὠδῖν᾽, ἐπῳδὸν Θρῃκίων ἀημάτων.⁶

οὐ τοῦτον ἐκ γῆς τῆσδε χρῆν⁷ σ᾽ ἀνδρηλατεῖν,

μιασμάτων ἄποιν᾽; ἐπήκοος δ᾽ ἐμῶν
1420

ἔργων δικαστὴς τραχὺς εἶ. λέγω δέ σοι

τοιαῦτ᾽ ἀπειλεῖν, ὡς παρεσκευασμένης

ἐκ τῶν ὁμοίων χειρὶ νικήσαντ᾽ ἐμοῦ

ἄρχειν: ἐὰν δὲ τοὔμπαλιν κραίνῃ θεός,

γνώσει διδαχθεὶς ὀψὲ γοῦν τὸ σωφρονεῖν.
