Translation: One who does not turn back is called a)peri/tropos ["not turning around"]. "For neither the child of Agamemnon [is] not turning back nor the god who rules beside Acheron." By zeugma, a)nepi/strofos [is used] of [Hades] going after his enemies, but he has respect and pays attention. Or [Orestes] not coming back.[1] Hence also the [phrase] "turning-round year."[2]
