Apollo
Go your ways, and honor Peace, fairest of goddesses; I will bring Helen to the halls of Zeus,
[1685]
when I have come to the sky, bright with stars. There, enthroned beside Hera and Hebe, the bride of Heracles, she will be honored by men with libations as a goddess for ever; along with those Zeus-born sons of Tyndareus,
[1690]
she will be a guardian of the sea, for the good of sailors.Apollo and Helen vanish.
Chorus
Greatly revered Victory, may you occupy my life, and never cease to crown me!
