Δαναός

πάντων δ᾽ ἀνάκτων τῶνδε κοινοβωμίαν
σέβεσθ᾽: ἐν ἁγνῷ δ᾽ ἑσμὸς ὡς πελειάδων
ἵζεσθε κίρκων τῶν ὁμοπτέρων φόβῳ,
225ἐχθρῶν ὁμαίμων καὶ μιαινόντων γένος.
ὄρνιθος ὄρνις πῶς ἂν ἁγνεύοι φαγών;
πῶς δ᾽ ἂν γαμῶν ἄκουσαν ἄκοντος πάρα
ἁγνὸς γένοιτ᾽ ἄν; οὐδὲ μὴ 'ν Ἅιδου θανὼν
φύγῃ ματαίων αἰτίας, πράξας τάδε.
230κἀκεῖ δικάζει τἀπλακήμαθ᾽, ὡς λόγος,
Ζεὺς ἄλλος ἐν καμοῦσιν ὑστάτας δίκας.
σκοπεῖτε, κἀμείβεσθε τόνδε τὸν τρόπον,
ὅπως ἂν ὑμῖν πρᾶγος εὖ νικᾷ τόδε.
