empty this city of its men nor strife stain the soil of the land with the blood of slain inhabitants. But may the flower of its youth be unplucked, and may Ares,
the partner of Aphrodites bed, he who makes havoc of men, not shear off their bloom.
667
Chorus
And may the altars, where the elders gather, blaze in honor of venerable men.
Thus may their state be regulated well, if they hold in awe mighty Zeus, and, most of all, Zeus the warden of the guest, who by venerable enactment guides destiny straight.
We pray that other guardians be always renewed, and that Artemis-Hecate[*]watch over the childbirth of their women.
