Lord of lords,
most blessed among the blessed, power most perfect among the perfect, O blessed Zeus, hear! And from your offspring ward off in utter abhorrence the lust of men, and into the purple sea cast
their black-benched madness!
531
Chorus
Look benignly upon the womens cause, look upon our race ancient in story, and recall the happy tale of our ancestress, the woman of your love.
Show that you remember all, you who laid your hand upon Io. It is from Zeus that we claim descent, and it is from this, our homeland, that we went forth.
