THE DARK EARTH OPENED
PLOT POINT: Helios, the all-seeing Sun God, has informed Demeter that Zeus allowed Hades to abduct Kore. This betrayal by her brothers is broadcast by the Chorus and Hekate.
HEKATE:
Η μαύρη γη άνοιξε
Το σκοτάδι και το φως
Η σκοτεινή γη άνοιξε
CHORUS:
Dark, dark, the dark Earth opened
Demeter, the dark Earth opened
Willed by your brothers
Willed by your brothers
Dark, dark, the dark Earth opened
Demeter, the dark Earth opened
The Sky and the Shadow
The Sky and the Shadow
Dark, dark, the dark Earth opened
Listen to us! The dark Earth opened
Lured by a flower</span
Grown by the Earth
Dark, dark, the dark Earth opened
Demeter, the dark Earth opened
Seen by the Sun
Heard by the Moon
Dark, dark, the dark Earth opened
Demeter, the dark Earth opened
Willed by your brothers
Willed by your brothers
