chorus
Have pity, prince, for he has told of pains
many and hard,
such, I pray, as my friends will never suffer.
510Prince, if you hate the cruel sons of Atreus,
turn their evil deeds to his advantage:
come, let us take him and carry him now
in our swift-flying ship
to his home, to the land where he yearns to go,
515fleeing far from the wrath of the gods.
The women of Trachis and Philoctetes. A new translation in verse by Robert Torrance. Houghton Mifflin. 1966.
