That hero-king who exalted his city and made it glorious, reigning there, + 

With festivals new, and contests of strength of the athlete, and chariots carven fair, + 

And by baleful sedition; for Talaus’ sons were lords no longer therein, overborne + 

By civil strife. When a stronger cometh, a realm from the rightful possessor is torn. + 
