But when the dust has drunk the blood of men,

No resurrection comes for one that's dead:

No charm for these things hath my sire devised;

But all things else he turneth up or down,

620

And orders without toil or weariness.[[521]]

Chor. Take heed how thou help this man to escape;

Shall he who stained earth with his mother's blood

Then dwell in Argos in his father's house?

What public altars can he visit now?
