Chorus
[545] That filly in Oechalia,1 unjoined as yet to marriage-bed, unhusbanded, unwed, Aphrodite took from the house of her father Eurytus [550] and yoked her like a footloose Naiad or a Bacchant and gave her—to the accompaniment of bloodshed and smoke, with bloody bridal—to Alcmene's son. O unhappy in her marriage!
