Chorus
brought as its result war and bloodshed and the ruin of my home; [650] and many a Spartan maiden too is weeping bitter tears in her halls on the banks of fair Eurotas, and many a mother whose sons are slain, [655] is smiting her gray head and tearing her cheeks, making her nails bloody in the furrowed gash.
