Nor did they cast their votes for the side of the males,
disregarding the womens cause, since they honored the avenging eye of Zeus, against which there is no battling, and what house would have it

altars shall they please the gods.
656
Chorus
Therefore let there fly forth from our overshadowed[*]lips a prayer of gratitude. Never may pestilence
