Heading North to cross the Corinthian border To the sweet Lake of Stymphalia Her marshes infested by the pets of the Goddess “Artemis, Agrotera, Potnia Theron”
Birds of hate Bronze beaked and feathers of metal arrows Birds of hate With toxic excrements and sacred to Ares
Breeding quickly and swarming all over the lands Destroying the harvest of men, shooting arrows through hearts I went down to the marshes, sinking knee-deep down The ground could not support my weight
(Sinking knee-deep down)
Athena, watching me from the sky Noticing my struggles to get through the marshes Gave the order to Hephaestus, the God of Craftsmen To make me bronze krotalas
Light-speeding arrows Kill them all Light-speeding arrows All shall fall
The rattling krotalas made them flee With arrows in hand dipped in Hydra's blood Shooting them one by one out of the sky Some flew far away never to plague this lake again
Light-speeding arrows Kill them all Light-speeding arrows All shall fall
With this heroic endeavor I safeguarded the lands And returned to the wretched King As proof of my success I brought him the slain beasts The King hid in this pithos dug in the ground
