To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
by what defensive power?
GHOST OF DARIUS She wastes by famine a too countless foe.
CHORUS But we will bring a host more skilled than huge.
GHOST OF DARIUS Why, e'en that army, camped in Hellas still, Shall never win again to home and weal!
CHORUS How say'st thou? will not all the Asian host Pass back from Europe over Helle's ford?
GHOST OF DARIUS Nay--scarce a tithe of all those myriads, If man may trust the oracles of Heaven When he beholds the things already wrought, Not false with true, but ...true with no word false If what I trow be truth, my son has left A chosen rear-guard of our host, in whom He trusts, now, with a random confidence! They tarry where Asopus laves the ground With rills that softly bless Boeotia's plain-- There is it fated for them to endure The very crown of misery and doom, Requital for their god-forgetting pride! For why? they raided Hellas, had the heart To wrong the images of holy gods, And give the shrines and temples to the flame! Defaced and dashed from sight the altars fell, And each god's image, from its pedestal Thrust and flung down, in dim confusion lies!
