Let the words of your prayer be moderate.
A Danaid
What sense of proportion would you now teach me?
A Handmaiden
Do not ask too much of the gods.
1062
Chorus of Danaids and Handmaidens
May sovereign Zeus spare me cruel marriage with a man I hate, that very Zeus who
mercifully freed Io from pain, restoring her with healing hand by kindly force.
