1040. mvp-comment-740-1 αὕτως, ὧδ᾽ αὕτως, ὡς μ᾿ ὤλεσεν] 'Even as she destroyed me, in the very way ye see me now.' For γλυκύς in addressing a deity, cp. Ο. C. 106, ἴτ', ὦ γλυκεῖαι παίδες ἀρχαίου Σκότου. The MSS. have ὦ Διὸς αὐθαίμων, ὦ γλυκὺς ῾Αίδας. The transposition, made for metrical reasons, also improves the sense by restoring the climax.
