look how the descendant of Perseus brings his hand down heavily on the neck of the bloodthirsty lion with every type of skill!
For the gleaming, man-subduing bronze refuses to pierce the lion's fearsome body; the sword was bent back. Someday, I prophesy,
[in this place] there will be a strenuous toil for the Greeks, competing for garlands in the pancratium.

⋯ beside the altar of Zeus, the greatest ruler, the blossoms of glory-bringing Victory
nurture for men golden, conspicuous fame throughout their lives—for a select few—and when the dark cloud of death covers them,
the undying glory of their fine deed is left behind, secure in its destiny.

You too have attained this at Nemea, son of Lampon;
your hair crowned with garlands of flourishing blossoms, [you walk] the lofty streets of the city [of Aeacus, so that] your ancestral island [teems] with gentle-voiced victory processions, in which mortals delight,
revealing your overweening strength in the pancratium. Kindly Aegina, daughter of the whirling river,
