Chorus
[205] I am glancing around everywhere. See the battle of the giants, on the stone walls. I am looking at it, my friends. Do you see the one [210] brandishing her gorgon shield against Enceladus? I see Pallas, my own goddess. Now what? the mighty thunderbolt, blazing at both ends, in the far-shooting hands of Zeus? I see it; [215] he is burning the furious Mimas to ashes in the fire. And Bacchus, the roarer, is killing another of the sons of Earth with his ivy staff, unfit for war.
