Ἑρμιόνη

ἔλιπες ἔλιπες, ὦ πάτερ, ἐπακτίαν

ὡσεὶ μονάδ’ ἔρημον οὖσαν ἐνάλου κώπας.
855

—ὀλεῖ ὀλεῖ με· τᾷδ’ οὐκέτ’ ἐνοικήσω

νυμφιδίῳ στέγᾳ.

τίνος ἀγαλμάτων ἱκέτις ὁρμαθῶ;

ἢ δούλα δούλας γόνασι προσπέσω;
860

Φθιάδος ἐκ γᾶς

κυανόπτερος ὄρνις εἴθ’ εἴην,

ἢ πευκᾶεν

σκάφος, ἃ διὰ Κυανέας ἐπέρασεν ἀκτὰς

πρωτόπλοος πλάτα.

Hermione

Thou hast left me, O my father,

left me like a stranded bark, all alone, without an oar. My lord will surely slay me; no home is mine henceforth beneath my husband’s roof. What god is there to whose statue I can as a suppliant haste?
855

or shall I throw myself in slavish wise at slavish knees? Would I could speed¹ away from Phthia’s land on bird’s dark pinion, or like that pine-built ship,²
860

the first that ever sailed betwixt the rocks Cyanean!

Du hast, Vater, hast, ach! mich verlassen, wie¹
815

Am Meerstrand ein Schiff, einsam und ruderlos.

Ich muß sterben, muß, - werde nicht wohnen mehr

Hier in dem Brautgemach.

An welch Götterbild wend' ich flehend mich?

Fall' ich zu Füßen ihr, Sclavin dem Sclavenweib?
820

Konnt' ich entfliehn aus dem phthiotischen Lande,²

Wie der Vogel mit blauem Gefieder,

Wie das tannene Fahrzeug, welches, die erste Barke,³

Durch die Kyanen fuhr!⁴
