Question

In your own words and simple language, briefly summarize the meaning of this next portion of the First Choral Ode:

CHORUS—Strophe 2

The man swung down, torch still in hand,

and smashed into unyielding earth—

the one who not so long ago attacked,

who launched his furious, enraged assault,

to blast us, breathing raging storms.
But things turned out not as he’d hoped.

Great war god Ares assisted us—

he smashed them down and doomed them all

to a very different fate
