Zeus could undo fetters, there is a remedy for that, and many means of release. But when the dust has drawn up the blood of a man, once he is dead, there is no return to life. For this, my father has made no magic spells,
although he arranges all other things, turning them up and down; nor does his exercise of force cost him a breath.
Chorus
See how you advocate acquittal for this man! After he has poured out his mothers blood on the ground, shall he then live in his fathers house in Argos?
