I fear how this will end.

[Chorus]
Who is the man said to be, and from where? How is he equipped? Is he leading a great army with weapons of war?
Or does he come alone with only his attendants, like a traveller wandering among foreign people, this man who is so strong, valiant, and bold, who has overcome the powerful strength
of such great men? Indeed a god impels him, so that he can bring justice down on the unjust; for it is not easy to accomplish deed after deed and not meet with evil.
In the long course of time all things come to an end.

[Aegeus]
The herald says that only two men accompany him, and that he has a sword slung over his bright shoulders ⋯ and two polished javelins in his hands,
