STROPHE I

_Chor._ I fear her might who doth this whole house wreck,

The Goddess unlike Gods,

The prophetess of evil all too true,

The Erinnys of thy father's imprecations, 720

Lest she fulfil the curse,

O'er-wrathful, frenzy-fraught,

The curse of Œdipus,

Laying his children low.

This Strife doth urge them on.
