Χορός
— ἰὼ ἰὼ φίλαι,
κτύπον ἐγείρετε, κτύπον καὶ βοὰν
πρὸ μελάθρων, ὅπως ὁ πραχθεὶς φόνος
1355μὴ δεινὸν Ἀργείοισιν ἐμβάλῃ φόβον,
βοηδρομῆσαι πρὸς δόμους τυραννικούς,
πρὶν ἐτύμως ἴδω τὸν Ἑλένας φόνον
καθαιμακτὸν ἐν δόμοις κείμενον,
ἢ καὶ λόγον του προσπόλων πυθώμεθα:
1360τὰ μὲν γὰρ οἶδα συμφορᾶς, τὰ δ᾽ οὐ σαφῶς.
— διὰ δίκας ἔβα θεῶν
νέμεσις ἐς Ἑλέναν.
δακρύοισι γὰρ Ἑλλάδ᾽ ἅπασαν ἔπλησε,
διὰ τὸν ὀλόμενον ὀλόμενον Ἰδαῖον
1365Πάριν, ὃς ἄγαγ᾽ Ἑλλάδ᾽ εἰς Ἴλιον.
