Pelasgian soil shall offer the maids a home, when, in the watches of the night, their husbands have been slain by a deed of daring wrought by the womens murderous blows. For each bride shall take the life of her lord, dyeing a two-edged sword in his bloodin such ways may Love come upon my enemies!
However, loves desire shall charm one of the maidens not to slay her mate; rather, her resolve will lose its edge; for she will make her choice between two evil names to be called coward rather than murderess. She it is who shall give birth in Argos to a royal line
a long story is necessary to explain this clearly; of her seed, however, shall be born a man of daring, renowned with the bow, who shall deliver me from these toils.[*]Such is the oracle recounted to me by my mother, Titan Themis, born long ago.
