Χορός

οὐκ ἀκούσαις ἐπεθώυξας
280τοῦτο, Προμηθεῦ.
καὶ νῦν ἐλαφρῷ ποδὶ κραιπνόσυτον
θᾶκον προλιποῦσ᾽, αἰθέρα θ᾽ ἁγνὸν
πόρον οἰωνῶν, ὀκριοέσσῃ
χθονὶ τῇδε πελῶ, τοὺς σοὺς δὲ πόνους
285χρῄζω διὰ παντὸς ἀκοῦσαι.

Ὠκεανός

ἥκω δολιχῆς τέρμα κελεύθου
διαμειψάμενος πρὸς σέ, Προμηθεῦ,
τὸν πτερυγωκῆ τόνδ᾽ οἰωνὸν
γνώμῃ στομίων ἄτερ εὐθύνων:
290ταῖς σαῖς δὲ τύχαις, ἴσθι, συναλγῶ.
τὸ τε γάρ με, δοκῶ, συγγενὲς οὕτως
ἐσαναγκάζει,
χωρίς τε γένους οὐκ ἔστιν ὅτῳ
μείζονα μοῖραν νείμαιμ᾽ ἢ σοί.
295γνώσῃ δὲ τάδ᾽ ὡς ἔτυμ᾽, οὐδὲ μάτην
χαριτογλωσσεῖν ἔνι μοι: φέρε γὰρ
σήμαιν᾽ ὅ τι χρή σοι συμπράσσειν:
οὐ γάρ ποτ᾽ ἐρεῖς ὡς Ὠκεανοῦ
φίλος ἐστὶ βεβαιότερός σοι.
