For him above the Elektran Gate we burghers the feast prepare, + 

And the crown-like ring of the altars newly-built will we set to him there, + 

And our sacrifices will offer for those eight bronze-mailed heroes who died, + 

Whom Megara, Kreon’s daughter, bare, that mighty Hero’s bride⁠— + 

They unto whom at the sun’s down-going the nightlong flame is uplifted, + 

And with odorous reek its smoke is lashing the welkin, through cloudland drifted. + 
