Ἄρτεμις

σὲ τὸν εὐπατρίδην Αἰγέως κέλομαι

παῖδ’ ἐπακοῦσαι·

Λητοῦς δὲ κόρη σ’ Ἄρτεμις αὐδῶ.
1285

Θησεῦ, τί τάλας τοῖσδε συνήδῃ,

παῖδ’ οὐχ ὁσίως σὸν ἀποκτείνας,

ψευδέσι μύθοις ἀλόχου πεισθεὶς

ἀφανῆ; φανερὰν δ’ ἔσχεθες ἄτην.

πῶς οὐχ ὑπὸ γῆς τάρταρα κρύπτεις
1290

δέμας αἰσχυνθείς,

ἢ πτηνὸς ἄνω μεταβὰς βίοτον

πήματος ἔξω πόδα τοῦδ’ ἀνέχεις;

ὡς ἔν γ’ ἀγαθοῖς ἀνδράσιν οὔ σοι

κτητὸν βιότου μέρος ἐστίν.

Artemis

Hearken, I bid thee, noble son of Aegeus:

lo! ’tis I Latona’s child, that speak, I, Artemis. Why, Theseus, to thy sorrow dost thou rejoice at these tidings, seeing that thou hast slain thy son most impiously, listening to a charge not clearly proved, but falsely sworn to by thy wife? though clearly has the curse therefrom upon thee fallen.
1285

Why dost thou not for very shame hide beneath the dark places of the earth, or change thy human life and soar on wings to escape this tribulation? ’Mongst men of honour thou hast

Des gefeierten Vaters, des Aegeus, Sohn!

Du höre mein Wort!

Ich Artemis rufe dir, Leto's Kind.
1265

Wie mag dich, o Theseus, dieses erfreun?

Unheilig erschlugst du den eigenen Sohn,

Von dem Lügengeschwäz des Gemahles bethrt;

Doch sichtbar erwuchs dir Schmach hieraus.

Was birgst du dich nicht in der Erd' Abgrund
1270

Mit errothendem Blick?

Was hebst du dich nicht in des Vogels Gestalt

In die Lust, und entruckst dem Verderben den Fuß?

Denn dir ist unter Gerechten hinfort

Kein Theil an dem Leben beschieden.
1275
