They are of evil mind, and guileful of purpose, with impure hearts, thinking no more of altars than carrion birds.
753
Danaus
This would profit us well, my children, should they incur both Heavens hate and yours.
Chorus
Father, no fear of tridents or of things held sacred in the sight of Heaven will ever keep their hands from us.
757
They are overweening, maddened, with unholy rage, shameless dogs that do not respect the gods.
760
Danaus
Yet there is a saying that wolves are stronger than dogs; the papyrus-fruit does not conquer the wheat-ear.[*]
