attack hand to hand and poison their unwary victims as well. and Persephone, whom lovely locks adorn:
Whose piercing sight, with vision unconfin'd,
surveys the deeds of all the impious kind:

Eternal rulers, terrible and strong,
to whom revenge, and tortures dire belong.

translated by Thomas Taylor ]
