By Dirke, Iphikles’ son, his descent from the Dragon who drew; + 

By Eurotas, Tyndareus’ scion, who dwelt the Achaians among, + 

In his highland home of Therapnae. And now farewell unto you! + 

O’er Poseidon and holy Isthmus I cast the mantle of song, + 

And over Onchestus’ shores; and as this man’s honours I tell, + 

I will sing of the fate to Asopodorus his sire that befell. + 
