Chorus
Then he went through the waves of heaving Euxine against the mounted host of Amazons dwelling round Maeotis, [410] the lake that is fed by many a stream, having gathered to his standard all his friends from Hellas, to fetch the gold-embroidered raiment of the warrior queen, [415] a deadly quest for a girdle. Hellas won those glorious spoils of the barbarian maid, and they are safe in Mycenae.
