In a song that mimics prayer the Chorus calls in turn upon Athena, Artemis, and Apollo to appear before it. Athena is of course especially dear to Athenians, Artemis ranges in the neighboring mountainous region Kithairon, and Apollo is patron of Delphi’s Oracle. Thus, the Chorus situates the crisis with respect to Athens, the wilderness lying roughly between Athens and Delphi, and Delphi itself. [Gt-a]
