ὦ γάμος, ὦ γάμος, ὃς τάδε δώματα

καὶ πόλιν ἀμὰν ὤλεσας· αἰαῖ,

ἒ ἔ· ὦ παῖ,

μήποτε σῶν λεχέων τὸ δυσώνυμον

ὤφελ’ ἐμὸν γένος εἰς τέκνα καὶ δόμον

Ἑρμιόνας Ἀίδαν ἐπὶ σοί, τέκνον,

ἀλλὰ κεραυνῷ πρόσθεν ὀλέσθαι·

μηδ’ ἐπὶ τοξοσύνᾳ φονίῳ πατρὸς

αἷμα τὸ διογενές ποτε Φοίβου

Peleus

O marriage, marriage, woe to thee! thou bane of my home, thou destroyer¹ of my city! Ah my child, my boy! would² that the honour of wedding thee,

fraught with evil as it was to my children and house, had not thrown oer thee, my son, Hermiones deadly net! O that the thunderbolt had slain her sooner! and that thou, rash mortal, hadst never charged
1190

the great god Phoebus with aiming that murderous shaft that spilt thy hero-fathers blood!³

Ehbund, Ehbund, der du das Haus hier,

Der du die Stadt mir vernichtetest! Ach, ach!

Håtte doch nicht das Geschlecht der Hermione,

Dieses dem Haus und den Kindern verderbliche,

Deiner Gemahlin Geschlecht,

Tod und Verderben, o Sohn, dir bereitet;

Hått' es der Blizstrahl eher getddtet!

Håttest du nimmer das Blut des erschlagenen

Göttlichen Vaters von Phobos gefodert,

Du, der Sterbliche, vom Gotte!
