Sobre las antiguas calamidades de la familia de los Labdácidas veo que caen otras que con nuevas desgracias se suceden sin cesar de una en otra generación. Algún dios aniquila esta raza, no hay remedio. Porque la esperanza que en el palacio de Edipo se fundaba ahora en su último vástago, la acaba de segar la cruenta hoz de los dioses infernales, a la vez que la demencia de la razón y la furia del ánimo.

nimmerdar befreit ein Geschlecht das Geschlecht, hinab wirft

And with far-searching sweep

Uprolls the storm-heap’d tangle on the shore,

While cliff to beaten cliff resounds with sullen roar.

The stock of Cadmus from old time, I know,

Age following age, the living on the dead,

Fresh sorrow falling on each new-ris’n head,

None freed by God from ruthless overthrow.

E’en now a smiling light

Así en la familia de los Labdácidas, á las desgracias de los que ya sucumbieron, veo acumularse nuevos infortunios, que de generación en generación se perpetúan, sin dejarla en libertad, un momento, la saña implacable del Destino. Un rayo de esperanza parecia vislumbrarse al fin para los últimos vástagos de la familia de Edipo; y hé aquí que lo extinguieron esa tierra fatal tributada á los manes, y la imprudencia del discurso y la furia vengadora del corazón.

Alternd von Labdakos Häufsern ,

Auf Ruin; noch löset ab ein Geschlecht

Ein Gott es nieder. Und nicht Erlösung hat ex.

Und der tödtliche, der Staub

I see that from olden time the sorrows in the house of the Labdacidae are heaped upon the sorrows of the dead; and generation is not freed by generation, but some god strikes them down, and the race hath no deliverance.

For now that hope of which the light had been 600 spread above the last root of the house of Oedipus— that hope, in turn, is brought low—by the blood-stained dust due to the gods infernal, and by folly in speech, and frenzy at the heart.

As when from Thrace the winds tempestuous sweep

With dark'ning horror o'er the deep,

The boiling sands are from the bottom torn,

And high the surging billows borne;

English (Sir Richard Jebb2, 1904) (OCR draft) Experimental (English (Sir Richard Jebb2, 1904)) — 583-630 focus

Chorus

Blest are those whose days have not tasted of evil. For when a house has once been shaken by the gods,

no form of ruin is lacking, but it spreads over the bulk of the race, just as, when the surge is driven over the darkness of the deep by the fierce breath of Thracian sea-winds,
585

it rolls up the black sand from the depths, and the wind-beaten headlands that front the blows of the storm give out a mournful roar.
590

593

Chorus

I see that the ancient sorrows of the house of the Labdacids

are heaped upon the sorrows of the dead. Each generation does not set its race free, but some god hurls it down and the race has no release. For now that dazzling ray of hope that had been spread
595

over the last roots in the house of Oedipus—that hope, in its turn, the blood-stained dust of the gods infernal and mindlessness in speech and frenzy at the mind cuts down.
600

605

Chorus

Your power, great Zeus—what human overstepping can check it? Yours is power that neither Sleep, the all-ensnaring, nor the untiring months of the gods can defeat. Unaged through time,
605

you rule by your power and dwell thereby in the brilliant splendor of Olympus . And through the future, both near and distant, as through the past, shall this law prevail: nothing that is vast comes to the life of mortals without ruin.
610

615

Chorus

See how that hope whose wanderings are so wide truly is a benefit to many men, but to an equal number it is a false lure of light-headed desires. The deception comes to one who is wholly unawares until he burns his foot on a hot fire.
615

For with wisdom did someone once reveal the maxim, now famous, that evil at one time or another seems good, to him whose mind a god leads to ruin.
620

But for the briefest moment such a man fares free of destruction.
625

626

Enter Haemon.

Chorus

But here is Haemon, the last of your offspring. Does he come grieving for the doom of Antigone, his promised bride,

and bitter for the deceived hope of their marriage?
