Aeschylus, Volume 2. Smyth, Herbert Weir, translator. London; New York: William Heinemann; G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1926.

  1. rich and derived from yearly furrows, makes an end of the plague of famine.
Chorus
  1. But a man’s blood, once it has first fallen by murder to earth
  2. in a dark tide—who by magic spell shall call it back? Even he[*](Aesculapius, who was blasted by the thunderbolt of Zeus for this offence.)who possessed the skill to raise from the dead—did not Zeus make an end of him as warning?
