Argive (Greece) (search for this): card 830
armies clashed in battle, what a great roar of shields was there, do you think, what mingled sound of groans and cries of pain? At first the rhythmic clash of the Argive infantry broke our ranks, but then they retreated. Thereafter foot was locked with foot and man stood against man and the battle kept on in strength. Many soldiers fell. All about were heard the cries, ‘Dwellers in Athens—or You who sow the Argive field—will you not keep disgrace from our city?’ By bending all our strength, with great toil, we at length put the Argive army to flight. Then old Iolaus, seeing Hyllus rushing off, stretched out his right hand and entreated him to take him oArgive army to flight. Then old Iolaus, seeing Hyllus rushing off, stretched out his right hand and entreated him to take him onto his chariot. He took the reins and followed hard upon the chariot of Eurystheus.

She became Heracles' bride after his death. and to Zeus that he might be young again for a single day and exact retribution from his enemies. Now you may hear a marvel. A pair of stars stood above the chariot yoke and covered the chariot in dark cloud. Those who are wise say that it was your son Heracles and Hebe. And out of this murky darkness he showed forth the youthful form of his young a

rtune from the gods is good. Alcmene What? Did he perform some noble deed of valor? Messenger He has changed back from old to young. Alcmene A remarkable story you have told! But first I want you to tell me that our friends have been successful in battle. Messenger A single account by me will tell you all. When we had drawn up our hoplite lines facing one another, Hyllus, stepping from his four-horse chariot, took his stand in the middle of the space between the armies. Then he said, ‘Argive general, why can we not let this land and you will not harm to Mycenae by depriving it of its soldiery. Rather, join in single combat with me, and either, if you kill me, take away the children of Heracles, or, if you are killed, cede to me the honors and the house that are mine from my father.’ The army murmured its approval of this speech both for the escape from toil it promised and for its courage.

Chorus But, lady Athena, since yours is the land and the city, and you are its mother, its mistress, and its guardian, divert to some other land the man who is unjustly bringing here from Argos the spear-hurling army! For by our valor we do not deserve to be cast from our homes.

Chorus It is dreadful that a prosperous city like Mycenae, famed for its war-strength, should nurse a hatred against our land. But it is cowardly, o my city, if we are to hand over suppliant strangers at the behest of Argos. Zeus is my ally, I have no fear, Zeus is justly grateful to me: never shall I reveal the gods to be less good than mortals.

The number beyond this I cannot tell you. Iolaus The Athenian leaders, I suppose, are aware of this. Servant Yes, and what is more, they have posted them on our left wing. Iolaus What? Is the force already armed for battle? Servant Yes, and sacrificial victims have been brought to each company. Iolaus How far off is the Argive force? Servant Close enough to see their general clearly. Iolaus What is he doing? Marshalling the enemy ranks? Servant That was our guess. We could not hear him clearly. But I shall go. I would not like to see my masters closing on the enemy deprived of my part in their defense. Iolaus I shall go with you. For we have the same thought, it seems, to stand by our friends and help them. Servant It is most unlike you to utter such a foolish thought. Iolaus Unlike me, too, to fail to joi
