for she, together with Hera, holds power nearest to Zeus, and for her solemn rites the goddess of varied wiles is held in honor. And in the train of their mother are Desire and she to whom nothing is denied,
winning Persuasion; and to Harmonia has been given a share of Aphrodite, and to the whispering touches of the Loves.
1043
Chorus of Handmaidens
But for the fugitives I have boding fears of blasts of harm and cruel distress and bloody wars.
How did they make such a smooth voyage when pursuit followed fast upon their track? Whatever is fated, that will come to pass. The mighty, untrammelled will of Zeus cannot be transgressed.
Marriage has been the destiny of many women before our time.
