151
Chorus
That the mighty race of our honorable mother may escape the embrace of man (ah me), unwedded, unvanquished.
154
Chorus
Yet, if she will not, we, a dark,
sun-burned race, with suppliant boughs will invoke the underworld Zeus, Zeus the great host
of the dead; for if the gods of Olympus hear us not, we will hang ourselves.
