“But when with ships they shall join the sacred strand of the goddess, Artemis golden-sword-girded, and thee, wave-washed Kynosura, Urged by a maddening hope, 1257 having given rich Athens to plunder, Then shall Justice divine quell Riot, of Insolence firstborn, 1258 Longing to overthrow all things 1259 and terribly panting for bloodhshed: Brass shall encounter with brass, and Ares the sea shall empurple, Tinging its waves with the blood: then a day of freedom for Hellas Cometh from wide-seeing Zeus 1260 and from Victory, lady and mother.” 1261
