Prometheus leaves. Pisthetaerus goes into the thicket.
Chorus
Singing.
Near by the land of the Sciapodes there is a marsh, from the borders whereof the unwashed [1555] Socrates evokes the souls of men. Pisander came one day to see his soul, which he had left there when still alive. He offered [1560] a little victim, a camel, slit his throat and, following the example of Odysseus, stepped one pace backwards. Then that bat of a Chaerephon came up from hell to drink the camel's blood.
