Wer mag deine Gewalt, o Zeus, kühn aufhalten in frevlem Hochmuth,
585
die nimmer der Schlaf fahet, der Allentkräfter,
nimmer der Götter rasche
Monden! In nie alternder Zeit bewohnst du
des Olympos lichten, strahlenden Gipfel, Herrscher!
In Vergangenheit und Zukunft
590
und jetzo bestehet dies
Gesetz, welches niemals
ob Sterblicher Loos waltete sonder Unheil.

Tu poder, ¡oh Júpiter!, ¿qué hombre en su arrogancia lo podrá resistir, cuando ni lo domina jamás el sueño que a todo el mundo subyuga, ni lo disipan los años que sin cesar se suceden, y siempre joven en el tiempo mantienes el reverberante esplendor del Olimpo? Al presente, en el porvenir y en el pasado regirá siempre esta ley común a todos los pueblos: «Nada ocurre en la vida humana exento de dolor.»

Was spreading to our sight
O’er one last fibre of a blasted tree,—
605
When, lo! the dust of cruel death,
Tribute of Gods beneath,
And wildering thoughts, and fate-born ecstasy,
Quench the brief gleam in dark Nonentity.
What froward will of man, O Zeus! can check thy might?
610
Not all-enfeebling sleep, nor tireless months divine,
Can touch thee, who through ageless time
Rulest mightily Olympus’ dazzling height.
This was in the beginning, and shall be

El orgullo del hombre jamás podrá triunfar ¡oh Júpiter! de tu fuerza. Tú desafías al Sueño irresistible y al Tiempo que en su curso todo lo extermina; y eternamente exento de vejez riges, como soberano, el brillante esplendor del Olimpo. Pero ¡ay! el hombre no puede gozar pura felicidad: el pasado, el presente y el porvenir se hallan sujetos á esta inmutable ley.

Thy power, O Zeus, what human trespass can limit? That power which neither Sleep, the all-ensnaring, nor the untiring months of the gods can master; but thou, a ruler to whom time brings not old age, dwellest in the 610 dazzling splendour of Olympus.
And through the future, near and far, as through the past, shall this law hold good: Nothing that is vast enters into the life of mortals without a curse.

Furious they lash the solid shore,
The promontories round rebellow to the roar.

In all the pomp of regal splendor stood;
Till rough misfortune's swelling flood
Ruin on former ruin deep'ning rolfd.,

585. mvp-comment-345-1 ἔρπον The real subject of this is πᾶσα ἄτη (or τὸ πᾶν ἄτης) implied in the preceding words, the positive being educed from the negative. Calamity stints not, but goes on till it fulfils the number of the race.

586-589. mvp-comment-346-1 ὅμοιον.. πνοαῖς Like as when the billow courses over the darkening deep before fell Thracian blasts from the Euxine sea. Some interpreters make ἔρεβος subj, and οἶδμα obj. of ἐπιδράμῃ, when the darkening wave courses over the main. But οἶδμα elsewhere in Sophocles is not the expanse (aequor) but the swelling of the sea, and ἔρεβος ὕφαλον can hardly be anything else than the nether darkness of the deep. For the accumulation of adjectives, see Essay on Language § 23. p. 37. Seyffert reads ὡς προποντίδος. 589 ff. It rolls from depths below the black tempestuous drift. 591. And the cliffs, returning the shock, groaningly resound.'

586-589. mvp-comment-346-2 δυσάνεμον A sign of tempest, 'Associated with bad winds, because only seen when the wind has been blowing hard on shore. Ventorum vehementiorum comitem.' Musgr. 593, foll. From of old I see with pain' (ὁρῶμαι, ethical middle, Essay on Language § 31. p. 52) 'the calamities of the house of Labdacus accumulating on the calamities of those that are gone; nor does one generation free another, but some god casts them down; nor is there hope of redemption.'
