Who could have dared to do such things in Thebes,

And Hercules returned? Whoever dwells

Along Ismenus' stream, in Attic plains,

Or in the land Dardanian Pelops rules,1165

By two seas lapped, come to my aid, and tell

The name of him who has this murder done.

If not, my wrath will turn against you all;

For he's my foe who shows me not my foe.

Why dost thou hide, Alcides' vanquisher?

I care not whether thou dost vengeance seek
