I will speak justly before you, Athenas great tribunal,—
since I am a prophet, I cannot lie. I have never yet, on my oracular throne, said anything about a man or woman or city that Zeus, the father of the Olympians, did not command me to say.
Learn how strong this plea of justice is;
and I tell you to obey the will of my father; for an oath is not more powerful than Zeus.[*]
