Does some enemy of our land beset our borders, leading an army? Or are evil-plotting robbers, against the will of the shepherds,
rustling our flocks of sheep by force? What is it that tears your heart? Speak; for I think that you of all mortals have the aid of valiant young men at your disposal,
son of Pandion and Creusa.

[Aegeus]
Just now a herald arrived, having come by foot on the long road from the Isthmus. He tells of the indescribable deeds of a mighty man. That man killed overweening
Sinis, who was the greatest of mortals in strength; he is the son of Lytaeus the Earthshaker, son of Cronus. And he has slain the man-killing boar in the valleys of Cremmyon, and reckless
Sciron. He has closed the wrestling school of Cercyon; Procoptes has met a better man and dropped the powerful hammer of Polypemon.
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?
