Athena has not been able to soften the lord of Olympus, Though she has often prayed him, and urged him with excellent counsel. Yet once more I address you in words firmer than adamant. When the foe shall have taken whatever the limit of Cecrops Holds within it, and all which divine Cithaeron, shelters, Then far-seeing Zues grants this to the prayers of Athene; Safe shall the wooden wall continue for you and your children. Wait not the tramp of the horse, nor the footmen mightily moving Over the land, but turn your back to the foe, and retire. Yet shall a day arrive when you shall meet him in battle. Holy Salamis, you shall destroy the offspring of women, When men scatter the seed, or when they gather the harvest. (7.141).
