But, gods of our race, hear, and regard with favor the cause of righteousness; if you refuse youth
fulfillment of its arrogant desires, and readily abhor violence, you would be righteous toward marriage. Even for those who flee hard-pressed from war there is an altar,
a shelter against harm through respect for the powers of heaven.
86
Chorus
But may Zeus grant that it go well with us. For Zeus desire is hard to trace: it shines everywhere, even in gloom, together with fortune
obscure to mortal men.
