Chorus
Shriek aloud, with a cry that reaches heaven, strains of supplication to the gods; [810] O father, give heed that they are somehow accomplished to my safety and tranquility. Behold deeds of violence with no kind glance in your just eyes! [815] Have respect for your suppliants, O Zeus, omnipotent upholder of the land!
Aeschylus. Aeschylus, with an English translation by Herbert Weir Smyth, Ph. D. in two volumes. 2. Suppliant Women. Herbert Weir Smyth, Ph. D. Cambridge, MA. Harvard University Press. 1926.
