Chorus
[425]
And many another glorious achievement he brought to a happy issue; to Hades' house of tears has he now sailed, the goal of his labors, where he is ending his career of toil, nor does he come back again.
[430]
Now your house is left without a friend, and Charon's boat awaits your children to bear them on that journey out of life, without return, contrary to the gods' law and man's justice; and it is to your prowess
[435]
that your house is looking although you are not here.
