     Rufend zum hohen Olympos den hundertarmigen Riesen,
     Den Briareos nennen die Himmlischen, aber Ägäon
     Jeglicher Mensch; denn er raget auch selbst vor dem Vater an Stärke.
     Dieser nun saß bei Kronion dem Donnerer, freudiges Trotzes.
     Drob erschraken die Götter, und scheuten sich, jenen zu fesseln.
