Didst thou not say a fresh calamity
Had fallen upon mel Didst thou not say my wife
Was dead, alas ! for grief of Hsemon's fate?

Bald werden wir erfahren, ob nicht heimlich sie
verhaltnes Weh in tief empörtem Herzen birgt,
indem ans Haus ich trete: denn wahr sprachest du,
auch allzu tiefes Schweigen drohet Schweres oft.

1284 ¡Ay, ay, implacable puerto del infierno! ¿Por qué, pues, a mí, por qué me arruinas? ¡Oh tú, que vienes con tan fatales y funestas noticias! ¿Qué es lo que dices? ¡Ayay! A un hombre muerto ya, has rematado. ¿Qué dices, hombre? ¿Esa nueva noticia que me anuncias, ¡ayay, ayay!, es la cruel muerte de mi mujer sobre la de mi hijo?

With doubly sharpened blade a mortal blow?

mvp-comment-780-2 three or four persons; and was low enough to admit of an actor stepping off it with ease. It was pushed on through the central stage entrance, and was usually brought sufficiently far forward to allow of actors entering or making their exit behind it. Here, the corpse of Eurydicè is evidently in full view of the house ( cp. 1299 ). Soph. has used the

ἐκκύκλημα
in two other plays: El. 1458 (the corpse of Clytaemnestra, with Orestes and Pylades beside it); and in Ai. 344 (Ajax in his tent among his victims). See Albert Müller, Gr. Bühnenalterthümer, pp. 142 ff. (1886).

mvp-comment-780-3 Recent explorations in the Dionysiac theatre at Athens have given rise to a theory that there was no permanent raised stage or proscenium before the Roman age. Even if this could be proved, it would still, however, remain certain that some such expedient as the

ἐκκύκλημα
was used in the fifth century. This is proved by the texts of Aesch. , Soph. , and Eur. , as well as by the two scenes of Ar. where the tragic
ἐκκύκλημα
is parodied ( Ar. Ach. 408 —479; Thesm. 95—238). Ar. has the words
ἐκκυκλεῖν
and
ἐσκυκλεῖν
. Wecklein thinks that the
ἐκκύκλημα
was employed when a part of the interior of the house was to be disclosed, but the
ἐξώστρα
when merely a single object was to be shown; and that the
ἐξώστρα
was used here ( N. Jahrb. 1870, vol. 101, p. 572: Philol. 31. 451). The meaning of
ἐξώστρα
is, however, doubtful.
