Χορός

ἀλλὰ σὺ μὴ προπίτνων τὰ θεῶν φέρε, μηδʼ ὑπεράλγει

φροντίδα λύπᾳ·
620

εὐδόκιμον γὰρ ἔχει θανάτου μέρος

ἁ μελέα πρό τʼ ἀδελφῶν καὶ γᾶς·

οὐδʼ ἀκλεής νιν

δόξα πρὸς ἀνθρώπων ὑποδέξεται·

ἁ δʼ ἀρετὰ βαίνει διὰ μόχθων.
625

ἄξια μὲν πατρός, ἄξια δʼ εὐγενί-

ας τάδε γίγνεται· εἰ δὲ σέβεις θανά-

τους ἀγαθῶν, μετέχω σοι.

Chorus

Then fall not prostrate thou, but bear what heaven sends, and set a limit

to thy soul’s grief; for she, poor maid! in dying for her brothers and this land, hath won a glorious death, and splendid fame shall be her meed from all mankind;
620

for virtue’s path leads through troublous ways. Worthy of her father, worthy of her noble birth is this conduct. And if thou dost honour the virtuous dead, I share with thee that sentiment.
625

Du denn ertrage mit Muth die Verhangnisse,

Hårme dich nicht unmåßig in Gram ab.

Denn ein gepriesenes Loos hat Makaria
615

Sterbend für Brüder und Land sich erkoren:

Strahlendes Ruhmes

Lebt sie hinfort in der Menschen Erinnerung.

Tugend ja wandelt in Mühen den Pfad hin.

Würdig des edlen Geschlechtes die That und würdig des

Vaters!

Ehrst du den Tod der Gerechten, ich ehr' ihn, wie du.

Ein Diener. Iolaos. Der Chor. Später Alkmene.
