Chorus
And you, Epaphus, born from Io, our first mother, and child of Zeus: you I summon in foreign cry, [680] oh! in foreign prayers: come, come to this land; your descendants settled here; and the goddesses of twofold name, Persephone and the kindly [685] goddess Demeter the queen of all, Earth the nurse of all, won it for themselves; send to the help of this land those torch-bearing goddesses; for to gods all things are easy.
