Stasimon 4
[Episode]
My son, let us set out for home.
Athena
Go; I will follow.
Ion
A guide we well may prize.
Creusa
Aye, and one that holds our city dear.
Athena
Go, sit thee down upon the throne of thy ancestors.
Ion
’Tis my heritage and I value it.
Chorus
All hail, Apollo, son of Zeus and Latona! ’Tis only right that he,
whose house is sore beset with trouble, should reverence God and keep good heart; for at the last the righteous find their just reward, but the wicked, as their nature is, will never prosper.
