Chorus
O aged son of Aeacus, [790] I am convinced that with your illustrious spear you joined battle at the side of the Lapiths against the Centaurs and that on board the Argo you traversed the inhospitable waters of the sea-going Symplegades [795] on a voyage of fame, and when on that earlier day Zeus' famous son Heracles encircled with destruction the city of Troy, [800] you came back to Europe with your share in this high renown.
