"Alguien dijo que las deidades no se dignan siquiera cuidarse de los mortales que pisotean el honor de lo inviolable. No era ése un hombre piadoso. La maldición se revela en los frutos de las ilícitas osadías de quienes se muestran más orgullosos de lo que es justo, cuando en exceso sus casas rebosan sobrepasando la medida óptima. Tenga sin daño la riqueza, de modo que pueda bastarle, quien por su suerte ha logrado la sabiduría, pues no es un baluarte la riqueza para el varón que por buscar la saciedad da un puntapié al grandioso altar de la Justicia, para hacerla desaparecer" (traducción de Bernardo Perea).

And now it’s obvious to all, what punishment is paid for reckless pride that flies over the proper measure –when the overweening greed sends men to war so as to clutter with wealth their already over-cluttered palaces.

Chorus:
And the rich man who kicks the altar of Justice away from his sight no longer has protection from Greed. No, that man is driven by the goddess Persuasion, destructive daughter of Infatuation who makes men work against their better judgement. (Translated by G. Theodoridis).
