Sophocles Antigone 270

Creon
Take hence this useless load, this guilty
wretch
Who slew his child, who slew e'en thee, my wife ;
I know not whither to betake me, where
To turn my eyes, for all is dreadful round me,
And fate hath weighed me down on every side.

Gegenstr. 2.
Weh mir!
Dies andre zweite Leiden schau' Elender ich!
1235
O welch, welch Geschick denn harrt meiner noch?
In meinen Händen halt' ich noch mein Kind, und dort,
ich Elender, muſs ich jene liegen sehn.
Ach ach, arme Mutter! ach, armes Kind!

CR
1339
Take me away, the vain-proud man that slew
Thee, O my son! unwittingly,—and thee!
1340
Me miserable, which way shall I turn,
Which look upon? Since all that I can touch
Is falling,—falling,—round me, and o’erhead
1345
Intolerable destiny descends.

CREONTE
¡Mísero de mil tarde, sí la he reconocido. Alguna Deidad, irritada contra mi, trastornó mi juicio, y me precipitó en la senda de la crueldad; y con pié despiadado ¡ay de mi! ha derrumbado toda mi felicidad... ¡Ayl... ¡ay! vanidad de los proyectos humanos!...

KREON
Führt Schritt vor Schritt den eiteln Mann. Der ich
Dich, Kind, doch gernenicht, getödtet, sieauch, sie;
1390
Ich Armer weiss nicht, wen ich ansehn soll,
Und nicht, wohin ich gehe.
Denn alles Schiefe hat
Hier in den Händen und hier mir auf das Haupt
Ein wüst Schiksaal gehäufet.

1336. mvp-comment-739-1 The middle voice of ἐράω is known to exist (L. and S. s. v.), and may have been used by Sophocles with a pathetic force. Essay on Language § 31. p. 52. This seems more probable than retaining μέν from the later MSS, which has no force, or reading τοιαῦτα or γ' ἅπαντα for ταῦτα. ἐρῶμεν, plur. for sing., can hardly stand with the singular following in the same line.
