Amphitryon

Theocracy

ÉPHAPSAMÉNÉE :
Euthymeians !
Honour my name,
My lineage.
I'm your king !
I lead Sumphokéras,
Which shuts up the Sumphos,
Virtuous beverage for gods.

CHOIR :
Blissful child, clairvoyant hero, / Éphapsaménée,
Descendant of gods. / You are a mortal.
Opulence, a gift for your realm, / Interpret of dreams,
We believe in you.

ÉPHAPSAMÉNÉE :
Justice is mine,
My sight is yours,
I, Interpret of dreams,
My reign begins…

ATIMÉ & AKRÉMOSUMÈNE :
Defend Sumphokéras,
Protect our pantheon.

ÉPHAPSAMÉNÉE :
I'll foil the assaults of the Pharmelides
As my faith leads my sword
And my dreams foresee them
Coming ahead of our walls.

AKRÉMOSUMÈNE & TEIROMÉKRÉOS / CHOIR :
You are my own flesh and blood, / We're all Heliamenides,
Stay in the way of Justice. / Born of first Héliamène.
Take care of Euthymeians, / Two peoples, two believes,
Pharmelides covet Sumphokéras.

ÉPHAPSAMÉNÉE :
We don't have to fear
The stateless Pharmelides,
Sumphokéras is ours !
(They're) Beyond the Unseen Lands,
Unable to conquer us.

GODS OF THE PROARCHÉIA :
We must live a carnal life,
We possess bodies we care.


Sumphos, save us from disappearance.
It means immaterial life for us who drink its water.


Glorious king ! Clairvoyant !
Obey us !
Your power… Legacy !
Proclaim the "Right Order" of Xeilos the ancestral.
We all are under your aegis now.

ÉPHAPSAMÉNÉE :
I swear allegiance, Xeilos !
