Of all the region through which the pureStrymon flows, on the side toward the setting sun, I am the lord. There lies within the limits of my rule the land of the Perrhaebi, the parts beyond Pindus close to the Paeonians, and the mountain ridge of Dodona; the edge of the watery sea borders my kingdom. I rule up to these boundaries. The ground where we stand is Apian land itself, and has borne that name since antiquity in honor of a healer.

Enter the King of Argos with men-at-arms King From where comes this band we address,clothed in foreign attire and luxuriating in closely-woven and barbaric robes? For your apparel is not that of the women of Argos, nor yet of any part of Hellas. How you have gained courage thus fearlessly to come to this land, unheralded and friendless and without guides,this makes me wonder. And yet, truly, I see that branches usually carried by suppliants are laid by your side before the gods assembled here—as to this alone can Hellas guess with confidence.The original means “agree in forming a conjecture,” i.e. be satisfied with a guess.As for the rest, there is still much I should with reason leave to conjecture,if your voice were not here to inform me. Chorus You have not spoken falsely about our clothing. But, for my part, how am I to address you? As commoner, as spokesman, bearer of the sacred wand,Apparently a periphrasis for “herald”; but the Greek text is uncertain.or as ruler of th

Herald I revere the deities by the Nile. King While ours are nothing, as I understand you? Herald I shall carry off these maids unless someone tears them away. King If you so much as touch them, you will regret it, and right soon. Herald I hear you; and your speech is far from hospitable. King No, since I have no hospitality for despoilers of the gods.

to a land of women? For a barbarian dealing with Hellenes, you act insolently.Many are the misses of your wits, and your hits are none. Herald And in this case where have I gone wrong and transgressed my right? King First of all, you do not know how to act as a stranger. Herald I not know? How so, when I simply find and take my own that I had lost? King To what patrons of your land was your notice given? Herald To Hermes, the Searcher, greatest of patrons. King For all your notice to the gods, you do them no reverence. Herald I revere the deities by the Nile. King While ours are nothing, as I understand you? Herald I shall carry off these maids unless someone tears them away. King If you so much as touch them, you will regret it, and right soon. Herald I hear you; and your speech is far from hospitable. King No, since I have no hospitality for despoilers of the gods. Herald I will go and tell Aegyptus' sons about this. King My proud spirit will not ponder on this threat.

Chorus And let no murderous havoc come uponthe realm to ravage it, by arming Ares—foe to the dance and lute, parent of tears—and the shout of civil strife.And may the joyless swarm of diseases settle far from the heads of the inhabitants, and to all the young people may LyceusThe epithet Lyceus, often applied to Apollo, was commonly connected with the belief that he was the destroyer and protector of wolves （lu/koi）. As a destructive power he is invoked to ward off enemies （Aesch. Seven 145）; as an averter of evil he protects herds, flocks, and the young. According to Pausanias （Paus. 2.19.3） Danaus established a sanctuary in honor of Lyceus at Argos, where, in later times, the most famous of all Apollo's temples was consecrated to him under the title of “Wolf-god.”be
