the land of Aphrodite that teems with wheat.
556
Chorus
Harassed by the sting of the winged herdsman she gains at last the fertile groves sacred to Zeus, that snow-fed pasture assailed
by Typhos fury, and the water of the Nile that no disease may touchmaddened by her ignominious toils and frenzied with the pain of Heras torturing goad.
565
Chorus
And mortals, who in those days dwelled in the land, shook with pallid terror at the terrible sight as they beheld a being fearsome, half-human, part cow
and part of woman; and they were astonished at the monstrous thing. And then, at last, who was it who calmed the far-wandering, the wretched, the sting-tormented Io?
