Ajas, welchen Salamis gebar,
Schloß den rechten Heerflügel an den linken an,
In dessen Nåh' er die lezten
Ruder hielt, in Hellas' Flotte zwölf
Leichtgewandte Schiffe flechtend.
285
So hort' ich, also sah ich selbst
Dort das Schifferheer.
Welcher Kahn vom fremden Land
Diesem kühn entgegentreibt,
Kehrt zur Heimat nicht zurück.

Solch gewaltige Segelmacht,
Als ich hier gesehen,
Dies vereinte Kriegesheer, nimmermehr wird es mir
Aus der Erinnerung daheim entschwinden.
Menelaos, der Greis, der Chor.

Notes on the current edition

Iphigenia in Aulis

1. This line is corrupt, and perhaps the next also. The attempted version follows Weil.
2. The word ἄιον before εἰδόμαν is probably a gloss on that verb. Some editors adopt Hermann’s οἶον, but there is no certainty in it.
