He is standing by on the edge of Alcathous' land,Megara, neighboring territory to Attica. awaiting the outcome of events here. When he hears of your insolence, he will appear in his fury to you, your citizens, your land, and its crops. There would be no point in Argos' possessing so great an army of young men if we did not punish you. Demophon Clear out! I am not afraid of your Argos.

Demophon Am I not then the master of things here? Herald Yes, if you are wise enough not to injure them. Demophon Be injured! I shall not defile the gods. Herald I am not eager you should have war with Argos. Demophon No more am I. But these I'll not let go. Herald I'll take them all the same for they are mine.

Chorus Now is the time to show forethought, before the Argive army approaches our borders. The war-strength of Mycenae is keen, but after these events more keen than ever. For this is the way with all heralds, to build up a tale twice as large as the truth.

and the Chorus clasp hands. My children, we have put our friends to the test. And so if you ever return to your country and live in your ancestral home and your patrimony, you must consider for all time as your saviors and friends. Remember never to raise a hostile force against this land, but consider it always your greatest friend. The Athenians are worthy of your reverence seeing that in exchange for us they took the enmity of the great land of Argos and its army, even though they saw that we were wandering beggars [they did not give us up or drive us from the land]. In life , and in death, when I die, I shall stand next to Theseus and extoll you in praise and cheer him with this story, that in kindness you took in and defended the children of Heracles and that you enjoy good repute throughout all Hellas and keep your father's reputation and, though born of noble stock, you in no way prove le

We ourselves, when we had fallen into the utmost disaster, found friends and kinsmen here, men who, alone of all Hellas, have been these children's champions. Children, give these men your right hands, and you, my friends, give the children yours! Draw near! The children and the Chorus clasp hands. My children, we have put our friends to the test.

Of few others can this be said: only one man out of a great multitude can be found who is not inferior to his father. Chorus Lea

I shall muster the citizens and marshall them so that we may meet the army of Mycenae with a large force: first I shall send scouts to spy on it so that it may not approach without my being aware （for at Argos every man is a swift-footed warrior）, and then I shall gather the prophets and make sacrifice. But leave Zeus's altar and go with the children to the palace. There are men there who will take care of you, even if I am away. Go to the palace, old sir. Iolaus I will not leave the altar. We will stay here as suppliants and pray for the city's good fortune. But when she has escaped with honor from this struggle, then we will go to the palace. The gods we have as allies are not worse than those of the Argives, my lord. For Hera is their champion, Zeus's wife, but Athena is ours. This too is a source of good fortune for us, that
