Ah! let it come,
The day, most welcome of all days to me,
That brings the consummation of my doom.
Come! Come! I would not see another sun.

Alas ! I only am to blame. 'Twas I

EL MENSAJERO
Bien pronto lo sabremos.—Entremos en Palacio y veamos si en su desesperación me- dita algún siniestro designio... porque, con razón decís que lo que hay aquí de grave es su completo silencio.—(Váse el mensajero.—Aparece Creonte con su servidumbre, trayendo en hombros el cadáver de Hemón.)

Creon
1317 Ah me, this guilt can never be fixed on any other of mortal kind, for my acquittal! I, even I, was 1320 thy slayer, wretched that I am—I own the truth. Lead me away, O my servants, lead me hence with all speed, whose life is but as death!

mvp-comment-797-1 μόρων ὁ κάλλιστ’ ἔχων 1

mvp-comment-797-2 Both these difficulties (which to me seem insuperable) are removed by reading

μόρων ὁ κάλλιστ’ ἔχων
, the best of fates. That
ἔχων
could have been changed to
ἐμῶν
, either by conjecture or by accident, is shown by v. 575, where at the end of the verse L has the probably true
ἐμοί
, while other MSS. have
ἔφυ
. (If
κύνες
is right in 467, and
ξίφει
in 1301, these, too, are instances of final words corrupted.) A question of punctuation remains. The comma might follow either
ἔχων
or
ἐμοί
. I prefer the latter. Cp. Ai. 394
ἰὼ σκότος, ἐμὸν φάος, | ἔρεβος ὦ φαεννότατον, ὡς ἐμοί
.

1329. mvp-comment-737-1 κάλλιστα The adverb is emphatic, and has the force of a predicate. Let that last doom appear, which of all coming upon me has the highest glory of bringing me the end of days. Not one doom but many have fallen upon Creon. But of all that can come upon him, death is the lightest and the best.
