Ἰοκάστη
χώρας ἄνακτες, δόξα μοι παρεστάθη
ναοὺς ἱκέσθαι δαιμόνων, τάδʼ ἐν χεροῖν
στέφη λαβούσῃ κἀπιθυμιάματα.

λύπαισι παντοίαισιν· οὐδʼ ὁποῖʼ ἀνὴρ
ἔννους τὰ καινὰ τοῖς πάλαι τεκμαίρεται,
ἀλλʼ ἐστὶ τοῦ λέγοντος, εἰ φόβους λέγοι.
ὅτʼ οὖν παραινοῦσʼ οὐδὲν ἐς πλέον ποιῶ,
πρὸς σʼ, ὦ Λύκειʼ Ἄπολλον, ἄγχιστος γὰρ εἶ,

ὡς νῦν ὀκνοῦμεν πάντες ἐκπεπληγμένον
κεῖνον βλέποντες ὡς κυβερνήτην νεώς.
