Jene Dechalierinn,
545
Die unkundig der Ehe
Gelebt, ohne Bräutigam, ohne Gatten,
Gab Kypris, daß sie, Bacchantinn der Höll', 1
Ihn endlos mit Tod umstricke,
Zu sterben in Qualm und Dampf,
550
Und zu blutiger Hochzeit,
Weg vom Vaterhause dem Sohn' Alkmena's.
Unglückseliger Ehbund!
Gegenstrophe 2.

Notes on the current edition

Hippolytus

1. Iole, daughter of Eurytus, king of Oechalia. Her father refused, after promising, to give her to Heracles, who thereupon took her by force.
2. There is some corruption here. It is probable the doubtful εἰρεσίᾳ conceals an allusion to Euryptus, as Monk indeed suggest; but the passage is not yet satisfactorily emended.
